Message: [QUOTE="timkay99, post: 1177862, member: 635"] We have had 3 elite defenses thus far - Notre Dame, Louisville (and they may be the best defense in the country not named Ole Miss - 2nd in scoring defense, 1st in yardage defense) and Clemson. We have 2 more coming in Duke and Boston College. By the flip side, we have faced 1 elite offense - Florida State (# 18 in scoring offense). Next best is Notre Dame at 40 and Clemson at 45. And we don't have any of those coming up either. This is the reason why people are greatly overestimating the defensive improvement and giving the offense way too much blame for how they have played. The reality is that neither the offense or defense is improved. Offense has the excuse of injuries. Not sure the excuse of the defense besides the offense keeps them on the field too much. [/QUOTE]
