@Gatorbull325 Is it you who has been beating the drum on J Ross since last year? Someone here has.

Yup!  He is my favorite player on defense. It's nice to hear him finally get some shine.

The biggest defensive stats are the TFLs (last year 5.2 per game (#89), this year 8.2 per game (#9)) and, even more importantly, our 3rd down defense. Last season we were #129 (out of 130) allowing a

Our tackling is so much better than last year. It's not even close.

The main positive of this year is the turnaround on defense. We are already on pace to surpass a few totals from last year. With 9 games left, there is no reason we can't get 25-30+ sacks, 85+ TFLs, a

We have officially matched our sacks and QB hurries from last year with 7 games left. I would like us to catch up to what opponents are dishing on us but it doesn't seem likely. As for my stat wishlist I made at the beginning of this thread, I feel we can still get 25-30 sacks if we can stick to at least what we are averaging (3 sacks a game). We are averaging 8 TFLs per game, if we can stick to our average, we can hit 85+ TFLs. I'm not sure about the INT's anymore. I'm just hoping to match what we did last year at this point. With 7 games left, I would hope we can get at least 4 before the year is over. Shout out to Jonathan Ross. So far he is our most productive defensive lineman. at least statwise. Anyways, Go Bulls!:04-rock:

The biggest defensive stats are the TFLs (last year 5.2 per game (#89), this year 8.2 per game (#9)) and, even more importantly, our 3rd down defense. Last season we were #129 (out of 130) allowing a 50.3% conversion rate. This year we are 33rd in the nation allowing 33.8%. That is a massive improvement and absolutely needed given the way we run our offense. So long as the 3rd down defense continues to hold, this team will continue to win.

In regards to INT's I lost count on how many balls we had in our hands and dropped. Dayday had an easy pick 6 against Navy and had stone hands

Don't remind me. I was thinking about that when I made the post. I feel we dropped maybe 3-4 ints total this season.

Just like the offense with the deep balls, when the D starts grabbing every opportunity on turnovers, it'll look a whole lot better. We're 3-2 and on track for a bowl game and it still feels like we haven't seen a complete game from this team.

Good point.  Still haven't seen the complete game.  And both of the losses (yes, including Alabama) were winnable.  I guess it's also fair to say that the 3 wins were losable, too, considering that all 3 of them scored points on us before we could score on them.  Winning teams figure out a way to win games--That's the difference I'm seeing here compared to the last 3 years.

We got blown out, but we still had 10 TFLs in the last game. Once we figure out how to stop a pass on 3rd down we will be ok. 😭 Anyways, we have surpassed our Sack and QB Hurry total from last year.
