on one hand, i give shafer the benefit of the doubt. what are you gonna do - sometimes you're going to have a hot mess on defense in college football.

but on the other hand, if there's nothing that even a good defensive coach like shafer can do about it, why spend on that money on a defensive head coach?

Because it's a one year aberration based on turnover on the two deep and putting a bunch of kids that haven't been in the strength and conditioning program for long on the field. It's not just one or two in total, it's multiple players at every level of the defense, that's why.

#9 rated QB, offense struggling with the run, I'd hope PTR is looking at that.

You need to explain how that has anything to do with how SU's defense is playing.

Shafer deserves the benefit of the doubt regarding the defense based on past performance. If they have the players to get it squared away they will. If they don't it's purely a question strength and size on the two deep because of all the young players, and that's nothing that is going to change in the next couple of months.

You missed my point. Our D Vs Virginia's D like the pot calling the kettle black is what I meant. We have no right slamming any other defense after the way we have played. We are just not very good defensively.
