Right now our ratings are 103rd in tackling, 117th in pass rush and 139th in coverage.
Last year we were 9th, 15th and 3rd. We could lose to most of the teams on the schedule with this defense. Utah State played the Aggies as well as our defense.
No idea what is wrong. We have talent and experience. Did they spend too much time, and Freeman, too, thinking about how good we are going to be?
I thought we would win ten last month. I think 8 is probably more realistic.
