[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 978830, member: 198"] There are a lot of things that go into determining whether a defense is good, average, mediocre, or terrible. Those data vary from person to person. Points per game. If you have a weak secondary and give up big passing plays occasionally that lead to points, but they stuff the run and really make the opposing offense one-dimensional, that's a bad secondary, not a bad defense. If you're bad against both, then you're a bad defense. Who you play does matter when comparing your defense to other defenses. What you're getting hung up on is that you're looking at our defense in a vacuum and saying "We're a terrible defense," which very well may be true. We're definitely not a good defense or even an acceptable defense. No one is saying we are. What others are saying is that compared to other defenses we're closer to average than the bottom of FBS. These are not mutually exclusive opinions. Both can be true. Personally, I don't give a rat's *** about other teams' defenses and how our defense stacks up against those defenses. I care about how our defense helps us win games, which is the same thing you're saying. At the end of the day, who cares whether you're a higher-rated defense than Tulane? It doesn't matter. What matters is that our defense helps us beat the teams we play. [/QUOTE]
