[QUOTE="eetech, post: 138317, member: 1924"] Our defense was statistically bad. But this is a scenario where the stats can be misleading. 1) Our d-line has been decimated with injuries, suspensions, and basically a lack of depth. This looks to be changing. Without a strong line, with the caliber of QBs in the ACC (ESPN had a front page article discussing the quality of ACC QBs) our D was bound to give up yards. 2) Our team was fundamentally better. This was possibly the first year I felt I could trust our players to make individual open field tackles. Mistakes were also minimized. 3) Our D did not play for records, but rather to win the game. This meant that the bend dont break style with a lot of focus put on creating turnovers gave up a lot of yards which did not necessarily translate into points. Our team was clearly being coached up to create turnovers, as was evident from the awesome pick 6 against Clemson. I do think we have to see statistical improvement going forward as well, but there were a lot of positives to be taken from the D's performance last year. [/QUOTE]
