Yep, unless some guys we haven't seen step up in a big way or Bo comes up with a B1G equivalent of the Peso it could be a long year next season on defense. The offense should be better, so it may end up being a wash.

I still wonder how much was coaching. If Bo is his own DC next year, or a guy like Stoops, is that enough to make a big leap on D? I don't know the answer to that. If we are loaded with lots of young talent on D then why wasn't it on the field this year? They couldn't beat out the guys we saw on the field this year? I know there is a balancing act to redshirting and building for the future and just throwing guys on the field, can't always be an easy decision. But we looked pretty average on D this year in a lot of games. My biggest area of concern is the d-line. We need to be able to generate some pressure from this group moving forward.

Yea, we suck.. why, oh why, did we join such an elite conference like the B1G? Huskers = KSU before PapaSnyder
Drama queen alert.
Pretty much amounts to "routinely".
Guess it depends what your definition of "routinely" is, but that's at a clip of 41.6% of the time, so I would definitely consider it routine.
Not really. Twice in a 12 game seasons does not equal routinely.
Do you need a dictionary, Bils?
Actually, NU gave up 450 yards or more twice, apparently (I didn't pull the stats, but I'd think that what's his name would have listed all the 450+ games).
2 of 12.
Would anyone argue that NU routinely scored 40+ points offensively because there were five games were we averaged in the mid-40s?
Just as one example, OSU's top QB, RB and WR this season (by yards, throwing, running, receiving) were all freshmen. It's the only one I took the time to look up.
So 400 plus yards with an average of 445 per game over a 5-game stretch is quality defense in your book? I gotta give you credit. Your optimism is unshakeable.
And don't forget, he's always right. Pretty unbeatable combination if you ask me.
An average of 445 over 5 games. I guess "techincally" you are correct, it was only "over" 450 twice, but an average isn't far off at 445, with 5 games being 418 yards or more.
Anyway you spin it, that just aint good friend.

the real problem with those five games is that we were 2-3.
