Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1875634, member: 485"] Well, the secondary was a weak point last season as well. There was a reason Shafer tried hard to land Prater and Blair, for his system. Jones is playing as the 3rd CB because we didn't have anyone better, after the injury to Dowels. But look -- the defense played well against Colgate. Much better than we played against our FCS opponent the prior year, and Colgate returned almost its entire offense from a playoff contending team. The same undersized defensive players won games last season, and 9 starters are back. I have yet to understand why converting to a Tampa 2 means the defense regresses and we get rolled by teams we beat or should have beaten last season. (Yes, Louisville is loaded, so that is a different point.) [/QUOTE]
