Forgive me for not being impressed with another inspired 2nd half performance after we get put away in the first half.

We've scored enough points to win the game. Unfortunately, our run/pass defense is just a rumor.

Yeah.....BUMP.

Another year will do this team a ton of good. I'm actually optimistic about the future.

I totally agree about our offense. They should be solid next year.

But we need to completely overhaul our defense. Players like Simmons should not be lost in the shuffle. I cannot remember when I have seen us run any stunt packages. We just run straight into the OL's open arms.

I won't even start with our DBs.

Do you agree that they are young? Defense, I mean. I'm betting ona big jump next year.

Being young doesn't explain how they've gotten worse as the season progressed. Michigan State started off with a **** burger of a season but they have actually improved.

To be honest I saw very little from our young defensive players (except one or two in a few spots) that gives me much hope.

Our defense was just soft all the way around.

****** tackling
Horrible pass coverage
DLs never getting off blocks
Zero pressure on the QBs

That ain't youth, that is terrible coaching.

Dan needs an injection of head hunters on defense, a real DC that will take charge and to quit trying to coach every aspect of our team.

The one thing that has been consistent from day one with this defense is its capacity to give up both on individual plays and entire games.
