INT's?
Is it just me, or do we almost never intercept the ball? The only
interception I can even remember is Thompson's in the Wisconsin game.
By my count, we have 5 of them this season (w/ 3 games remaining),
compared to 14 last year and 12 on '06. Wasn't Shafer supposed to bring
a blitz-happy defense that created lots of turnovers?

Our DBs aren't that great, but I don't think our defensive schemes give them much of a chance to make plays. It's tough to get INTs when you're in a defense that concedes first-down yardage every 3rd down. If it's 3rd and 8, our corners will typically give a 10-yard cushion and backpedal at the snap. The QB quickly makes the read and (since our 3-man rush rarely is a factor) quickly gets it to him before our DB can recover and break up the pass.
