    Not saying he's right or wrong but Coach K does seem pretty high on the future for Allison. Combine that with the safetys coming back....it does appear to look much better for the defensive backfield this year.

    It was weird seeing so many guys leave the program this year, but I really believe that's partially because of the strength of our younger class. The kids that redshirted last year have some serious potential.

    I'll believe the "best defense" stuff when I see it. Good offenses took it to them last year. On the other hand coach K made similar pre season comment a few years back about Kyle Emmanuel and they turned out to be spot on

    Last years defense had serious trouble getting off the field on 3rd down. We ranked in the bottom half of the Valley on opponents 3rd down conversion rate. Best Defense?? Need serious improvement in this area!

    Adding DeLuca and Nate back is very important. Not graduating a DB is important. The depth on the DL is important. Hard to not imagine this is one impressive defense. It wasn't the number of injuries last year, but it stole our heart with Nick and Nate going out. I get excited for them to have another chance to run out of that tunnel.
    Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.
