I think you are flat out wrong. Last year's defense was horrible, ranked in the bottom 3rd of FBS teams. Combine that with the losses along the D line and you are living in fantasy land if you think this year's D was going to be any better. With this DL we would have generated even less pressure which is the key to Shafer's defense. He would have had to send more guys to get that pressure and that means our DBs which are already struggling would be left completely alone on their little islands getting burned all day. At least in the T2 there is supposed to be help over the top, against Ville/USF it didn't mean much. Against Colgate they shut them down all day. Both are sort of extremes in regards to expected offensive production. It's game 3, relax and let's see how we do against a peer team. If you really thought we'd be hanging with teams in the top 25 then your expectations were simply way off. We will be struggling to get to 6 this year, Cuse fans are typically in denial but alot of publications pointed at the problems on our DL as a reason we will struggle and they were not wrong.
