2017 Defense: Potentially best ever?

[56BISON73]

Boy, that 2009 defense was not good at all. Got run on, scored on and we could be turn them over. Inside the 20 the opposing team scored a TD 76% of the time. No wonder we were 3-8 that year.

The frustrating thing about 2009 was we were in almost every game we lost.

04-07 sounds right

That's right...his last year was also the last year of the transition.

2009 our stupid D coordinator tried to reinvent the wheel and stopped running the Tampa 2. The next year he left, err, was obviously fired in a respectful way by Bohl. Breske was a good coordinator but not for this Bison defense

That is correct, we found ways to lose games instead of finding ways to win games. It was like watching the Vikings play.

It's interesting how stats can lie sometimes. Look at YPG between 2009 and 2010. Between those two years the YPG went down .1 so you would expect the scoring defense to be about the same, but yet it went down over 10 PPG.

Also most of us (me especially) think our punter has not been very good since LeCompte graduated, but yet if you look at net punt average, he would be considered our best punter ever.

I know lots of things go into both of those, but found those two stats very interesting.

That drives me nuts. I don't give a shit if every punt is fair caught 39 yards down field. I want someone who can flip the field with a 60 yarder or drop it inside the 10.

um, no.

a team starting at approx midfield opposed to their own 25-30 is much better.

makes the game more interesting.

or something like that.
