tackling must improve all around. and while the D didnt totally dominate and had some weak lapses, they obviously still played well enough to win. so hopefully theyre able to shake off the errors and try to ball out at psu...bc theyll need to
October 14th, 2017 at 4:02 PM ^
Hope all the injuries heal up by next weekend

But lack of depth showed at the end
October 14th, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
the D down by the end of the season. M's O puts the D in difficult situations game after game. This presents a potential psychological or morale issue as well as a physical one.
D has nobly risen to the occasion time and again, but it's a very tough spot to be in. All hail Don Brown.

simply excellent. Pick by Lavert Hill was one heckuva play. We have a lot to lot forward to with this young secondary and our Defensive coaches. Don Brown !

ends this game early. Didnt play their best but did more than enough to win comfortably. Tackling was bad though.
October 14th, 2017 at 4:06 PM ^
That is currently saving the program.

Seemed like less QB pressure than we are used to seeing? Just fear/respect for a running QB maybe?

These guys are going to keep getting better and better. Gary was Gary. Mo was a monster. LOVE this defense!!
GO BLUE!!

Don't let the scores and stats dissuade you. This is a great defense.
With out this year's team isn't going anywhere.
October 14th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
plenty of weaknesses that a good O will take advantage of... we will see how PSU carves them up.
October 14th, 2017 at 4:12 PM ^
The D has been pretty sure handed when tackling this season, but today was ugly. Hopefully it is an outlier and we can get back into form tacklingwise. Make even one or two of those tackles and Indiana isn't in this game.

No more prevent. Fine with aggressive man to man defense even if it draws some flags. Be nice if they weren't calling literally everything on us though.
Corners eliminated Simmie Cobbs, and he is a great WR so that's impressive. Really great work from all three of them, but especially Hill. Safeties on their slot guy was a bit of a weakness. Worried a little about open field tackling from the safeties, though Metellus recovered from his biff on the first TD drive to make a couple nice ones.
Overall just fine.
October 14th, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
will hold up to OSU, and PSU. They may keep us in the game against Wisc. but not all game long.

We have the top defense in the country. I'm not saying it's perfect either, but it's about as close as humanly possible to being just that.
What are you looking for in a defense exaclty? We are one 5 TO/weather catastrophy game away from being undefeated, and that's pretty much due to the defense alone.

On EXACTLY how far all-world defense can get you with no help.

Recent Florida seasons indicate that it can win you a shitty division, get pasted in the conferennce title game and then lose to Michigan in a pretty prestigious bowl game.

Just saw the first pass in the goalline stand again. Brandon Watson covered two guys and made both throws look bad to Ramsay. He probably had the shallower one, but Watson made it a question AND made the deeper option hard. Great play by him. He was also the guy who jammed Cobbs right to the sideline on the play that was a long completion but out of bounds. Nice game..

Not much to say except they are the best defense in the country. Period.
The fact that they could do that well with little/no help is unbelievable to me. They will continue to win games for us. If our offense can get even somewhat together, we are deadly. That's just how good they are.
If you want to get super nitpicky, I'm just wishing they could break through and help the offense by scoring us points, but obviously that isn't really in their control, and not something I will legitimately complain about.

is this thread even necessary?
if you have a defensive hot take, you are probably a nutcase.
