They're like a baseball team that happened to strand a lot of runners but unlike baseball there aren't enough games for this stuff to average out
worst pass defense since 2000 - Syracuse 2002
They were 6th in the country in 2000. (what a frustrating year)
Quite a drop in 2 years
What is the worst pass defense?

Rutgers #73. Sounds about right.
2002 was a truly frustrating year.
The staff was convinced that we challenge for a BCS bid that year.
It started with that dropped pass by Lenny Cusumano on fourth and goal TE throw back from the one at BYU - wide open - and it just never seemed to get any better.
We really suffered from the loss of Dwight Freeney and Quentin Harris on that side of the ball.
i had a stroke after seeing how bad the pass defense was in the spring game. maybe they thought they were better on offense than they were only because anyone could throw on that defense.
i don't know how anyone in the world could've thought that team could get the BCS over miami.
i believe you, i just think they were nutsI'm telling ya.
The coaches were convinced that 2002 was the year - they thought 2001 would be a development year.
I think they thought that the young DEs - LaCasse, Wyche, along with Pollard - would be solid. They also had guys like Jameel Dumas, Christian Ferrara, Louis Gachelin, and Josh Thomas - they had some talent on defense.
They also had a QB - RJ - who they thought would have a break out year. They thought that Johnny Morant would continue to develop along Jameel Riddle. They had Reyes and Damien Rhodes - who tore it up during summer camp and who had a really great first game at BYU.
They clearly did not see the drop off at safety - I thought the loss of Harris was very important.
2002 was a horrible season - still, we beat Va Tech in OT and should have beaten Auburn at Auburn in OT.
Ugh.
we also blew a 4th quarter lead against north carolina and had the missed PAT against temple. 4-8 could easily have been 6-6.I'm telling ya.

keon walker and oneil scottDefinitely Latroy Oliver, who might have been the tiniest person ever to play for us.
Will Hunter. Young Steve Gregory (I'm not sure how much he played).
I'm telling ya.

http://www.annarrankings.com/recordholders.php down on the right. the scott oneal year was as bad as it felt
eh they also made cecil howard look like aaron rodgersThat defense was crushed by injuries.
Wasn't that the 'Josh Thomas is now a monster' preseason? I definitely got up caught in that hype lol...
