Which defensive stat are you looking at? I wanna see how we compare with other schools in our range. For example, if you like Football Outsiders defensive efficiency or FEI, we rank a dismal #65. However, looking at some of the schools in our ballpark reveals Miami (7-4) at #66, Pitt (7-4) at #68, Stanford (11-2) at #60, UNC (9-2) at #56, ND (10-2) at #52. Is it coaching or talent with those teams?I think overall talent level is a factor in not being top 20. I don't think it's enough to explain not being top 40.
Btw, in '14, we ranked #76 in this stat and that was with an insane number of forced to's.
'13: #51
'12: #64
'11: #61
'10: #80
'09: #51
'08: #30
'o7: #69
One outlier in the last 9 seasons. Hmm....
