Has now given up less fewer yards in each of the first 3 games.  BYU 600+, Howard 400+, UF 300+. Is this a trend?  I hope so but wouldn’t count on it.  Regardless, despite still getting gashed way too much in the run game, the defense has shown some flashes of improvement.

Really like the way Eddie Kelly is coming along.  #16 seems to be around the ball a lot.  As far as the rest of the Dline 😳

(2021) – In 12 games we had 9 Sacks, 49 TFLs, 10 INTs for the entire season.

(2022) In 3 games so far, we have 5 Sacks, 22 TFLs, 4 INTs.

We are only 3 games in, and we already have made close half of our stats from last year. It may not seem like it, but our defense is actually better from last year.

To be fair ... Louisville's running game is 45% Malike Cunningham... and more than 50% in the last two games.  He's been sacked 8 times in three games, and thrown three INTs to 1 TD.

UF coaches did not try working out kinks with Richardson ... instead Napier has specifically told Richardson to run less, and called a lot fewer designed QB runs, because they backup situation is a shambles.

Louisville ran the ball an average of 40 times per game and threw for nearly 30... so it's a fairly balanced attack... if USF runs a ball-control offense again, Louisville may not get that many

I am going withy no...  The trend is Jeff Scott came unprepared this week and added another L to his record.

I miss that guy so much. He brought so much energy and I loved the turnovers

Not sure how long he will last at Indiana but if he ever becomes available then USF would be wise to give him a call if we ever need a new HC

The defense is hot garbage and Shoop is not the answer. NFL teams may get calls from the box just fine. Shoop has got to be socialphobic to want to make calls from the box. Get onto the field with the players, where leadership is needed.

Maybe he doesn’t trust his eyes and ears in the box?
