I've had the worry-wart curse all my life.  I will worry about the defense.

The offense is spectacular. I am not sure who on the schedule this year can shut it down. Probably no one.

 

The D will be challenged vs. Navy, maybe vs. UCF as they both feature the run, with completely different styles.

Defense wins Championships and the Bulls D is shaky at best

Defense does win championships and it is harder to take a good offense on the road compared to a defense.

I will say so far outside the FSU game our scoring defense if they hold teams under 20 that should be good enough for us to win most games.

I trust the offense against everybody.

I only worry about the defense against Navy.

I worry about the defense more than I trust our offense.  I know it's been the best offense we've ever had, but there are so many wtf plays (short hops, overthrows, etc).

Worry about the defense for sure.

Not to many teams can score EVERYtime they touch the ball which leaves some work for your defense to do.

My biggest fear are those third and short downs that we have trouble with.

Let's see what happens tomorrow as we all know the offense will hang some points and I don't see this one being as close as prior outings against the puppies.

I would worry more if the other team had a great defense.  It seems Houston and Memphis have been playing pretty good defense. We are an average defense and when we get ahead is where the defense prevails because the other offense has to press.

I trust the offense more.  I feel like it will keep us in the game while our defense needs some time to adjust to what is going on with the other team's offense.  In most games, we've figured it out and once that happens, we can't be stopped.  For the remaining schedule, I think that will continue.
