Message: [QUOTE="K Otto XLIV, post: 1463147"] I think people overrate our D anyway. We have been pretty much middle of the pack statistically vs our conference peers the last 6 years. IMO 2011 and 2012 were sub par Ds. I also think that the last 2 years we have struggled to start the year. Overall last year's D was our best. So there likely would be a drop in production. IMO our D this year will come down to the secondary. Thankfully we start off with a light schedule so the D should be up to the task by conference play when we need them. 2014- we were good vs the run, preventing long passes and runs, getting off the field on 3rd down, and preventing TDs once in the redzone. We were bad vs the pass and getting pressure on the QB. PPG middle 1/3 of ACC YPG middle 1/3 QBR bottom 1/3 20P 1st YPC top 1/3 20R top 1/3 Sacks bottom 1/3 TFL middle 1/3 TOs middle 1/3 RZTD top 1/3 3D top 1/3 2013- we were good at getting to the QB and preventing long pass plays. We were bad vs the run and at preventing TDs in the redzone. PPG middle 1/3 of ACC YPG middle 1/3 QBR middle 1/3 20P top 1/3 YPC bottom 1/3 20R middle 1/3 Sacks top 1/3 TFL middle 1/3 TOs middle 1/3 RZTD bottom 1/3 3D middle 1/3 2012- we were good at preventing long runs, TFL, and creating TOs. We were bad against both the pass and run (strangely cuz of TFL), as well as giving up long pass plays and at getting to the QB. PPG middle 1/3 of Big East YPG middle 1/3 QBR bottom 1/3 2oP bottom 1/3 YPC bottom 1/3 20R top 1/3 Sacks Last TFL top 1/3 TOs top 1/3 RZTD middle 1/3 3D middle 1/3 2011- we were good at preventing long pass plays and at preventing TDs in the redzone. We were bad vs the pass and had trouble getting off the field on 3rd down.

We were bad at giving up points, against the pass, at creating TOs, and preventing TDs in the redzone.
