It's possible that BO is like GP, great at evaluating players. If so depth isn't an issue. From a star rating in recruiting, the current players are similar to those that were part of very good defenses.

MU's formula for winning.... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:32:27

The single biggest thing we need to achieve is getting - alwaysright MU - 8/29 17:13:02

a defense good enough to force more punts than MU takes(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 14:42:51

Prediction - JimD MU - 8/29 12:57:41

Tennessee averaged 35.9. A&M averaged 31.5. State 29.3. - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 13:13:30

We'll avg 35+ vs weak teams. But not overall - coolbean MU - 8/29 13:34:08

the defense is going to have to make huge strides - AndyTiger MU

- 8/29 12:57:15

with just a couple breaks MUwould have won 6 in 2016 - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 14:46:33

on the other hand we weren't that far off from going 2-10 - AndyTiger MU

- 8/29 15:45:29

i bet your glass is half empty isn't it?(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 16:03:06

So talent was the issue last year? I mean, we had an NFL - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/29 13:04:27

talent is worse now so coaching had better get better. (nm) - AndyTiger MU

- 8/29 14:27:36

How are you measuring talent? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 15:22:54

depth is weak as it's been in a while. (nm) - AndyTiger MU

- 8/29 15:44:24

we don't really know that - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 15:56:11

go ahead and hope for a miracle - AndyTiger MU

- 8/29 16:00:08

Looked pretty good last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 16:03:23

I believe the key is the 1st quarter. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 12:46:27

Yep, which means we have to have a running game... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:51:55

Right. All about the o-line push to establish the run game. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 13:04:44

How do you know the defense will be awful? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:41:34

Those are your words not mine.... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:49:11

A defense that gives up over 30 ppg isn't average - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:53:04

MU gave up 35 a game in SEC play in 2016. - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 13:07:32

Just assume it'll suck because it sucked last year - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/29 12:47:06

Are our opponents not getting better? I hope i'm wrong - coolbean MU - 8/29 13:29:52

Again, we have no way of knowing. - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/29 13:34:46

Yea last year everyone assumed the defense would be great - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:51:34

Correct and then panic sets in and people deduce that - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/29 12:57:08

That's true - you put it plainly. We have to hope that - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 13:10:56

We could be a stellar defense. It's largely unknown - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/29 13:11:28

True.(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 14:15:23

Like I said below, football generally always comes down to - Diamond Dave MU

- 8/29 12:34:30

If Lock is hitting big plays on 2nd and short instead .... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:38:25

Well you have to have balance of course, but I am relying - Diamond Dave MU
