Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4957106, member: 4819"] The note about the defense is a bit concerning. We heard a lot last year that they weren't "ACC caliber", don't really love hearing that phrase again. Still time to gel and finesse things, I can't imagine it is easy to start over with a new coordinator while incorporating a bunch of new faces. Still, would like there to be more positive comments coming out preseason. I'm guessing English and Stevens stayed out for precautionary reasons? Don't like to draw too many conclusions (even Terry's "report" is second hand), but perhaps Michigan was taking this matchup a bit more seriously than Syracuse was. Any word on who the SSDM who was hurt? There isn't much to distinguish our best from our fifth best, but still would hurt to lose someone. Fingers crossed it isn't Carter Rice. [/QUOTE]
