[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 955678, member: 282"] We were above average in the ACC, even with Notre Dame in the mix. We were ahead of factories like LSU and Texas. We compared well against P5 schools. (I ordered based on EPA/play. We were 41st in FEI) We were in the middle in the P5 in FEI. A number of the better defensive teams in FBS were G5 teams. Limiting comparisons to P5 doesn’t make as much difference as people might guess In others, like SP+, we were below average, but still better than most any defense we fielded in about a decade. We had weak areas and bad games, but if we have about the same defensive stats and improve to even below average in offense and special teams, we’ll be fine—possibly bowling. Weak areas were sacks and success rate. We’re practicing different now—and you’d think our coaches are working on those areas. I wouldn’t use raw scoring defense and total defense to judge a team that had, in virtually every advanced statistical model, one of the worst offenses in FBS. Stats are going to get biased when your defense is in the field more often than 3/4ths of other teams and is is worse field position. I’m not saying they were the 1986 Bears defense or the Steel Curtain, but they were good and played their hearts out. They could use an Aaron Donald and a Brian Urlacher, but so could almost any team in FBS. [/QUOTE]
