I was told that game was the model of what we should expect from a well run Chin defense. We got lucky as hell and that’s it. You have to force some punts and get a few stops.

Like a better contract at Indiana.
good observation, captain obvious!
What part of this team or staff are we pleased with? If the answer is nothing, the problem is at the top.
5 turnovers. Why does anyone think the defense is the problem?
They are still too young, save Jaimes.
You have got 18-20 year old bodies trying to block 20-22 year old bodies.
That's the reverse of what we had with the Pipeline when we had the physically mature O-lineman.
It will be 2022 until we have the talent and maturity in the o-line to compete i the BIG, and I like our talent in the o-line right now very much but they are just kids playing adults
Just look at the stats for the first three games:
-We came in giving up 32 point per game on defense, not going to win a lot doing that.
-Opponents 3rd down conversions:50%
-Giving up more than 200 yds/game both on the ground and in the air to our opponents.
Yes, if DONU offense gives up 5 turnovers that makes it even worse but if your defense allows the opponent to score every possession there is NO WAY TO WIN.
Way back in the late 1960's our offense was putrid but the Blackshirts held up their end, so that we won games:
Washington 17-7
Minnesota 7-0
KSU: 16-14
The only way this defense stops teams is with turnovers
.That has got to change or not only do we not win any more games, we lose our recruiting class too.

Scott Frost was brought here to win games. Period. However it was done. Chin doesn't get a pass for sucking because the offense isn't scoring 45 a game. I get that we're never going to have a 10 pt a game defense. That's hardly the expectation.
This defense can't do ANY of the fundamentals. That starts with tackling. They can't force a punt. They can't cover. Half the secondary thinks tackling with your helmet scores points. Etc.
There is a reason Florida didn't want Frost if he was bringing his whole staff. You don't bring in a relatively green HC and let him bring a green coaching staff. It's a recipe for DISASTER....soon to be represented by lighting about $40M on fire at the end of next season.
Chin isn't entirely responsible for NU sucking. Every coach in that program shares in that. And it's entirely reasonable for there to be a thread for each and every one of them to be raked over the coals.
that ship has sailed. You gotta get him BEFORE he takes that P5 job. There's a lot of luck involved.
Additionally, the insane extension that frost was given prohibits a change before the end of 2022...MAYBE 2021. Just too much money on that contract.
A lot of that is self inflicted. If you are going to play "bend, don't break", not get 3 and outs, and let your opponents convert 50% of their 3rd down conversions, its your own fault you are on the field so much.
Yes, the offense doesn't help, but the D could do a lot to help themselves get off the field. They either refuse to or can't. Either way, its a problem. All three phases suck and they can't point the finger at each other.
Hey, you forgot the Bad News Bears!
