I think the DC needs to be replaced. It isn't like we have no talent on defense.
Our defense is literally full of freshmen due to losing at least 9 starters on the defensive part through injuries and other reasons. Our team is doing very well and just scored 70 points on UCONN in football. Isn't that a basketball score?

Probably heat of the moment stuff. It's just sports.

And it isn't like we don't have several starters out for the season with injuries as well as a boatload of starters and backups that have missed playing due to being banged up.

Maybe, but we are so thin on defense.
Just stop, you can't point out the obvious here! Why aren't you like everyone else who expects our second string to play as well as a first string?? While we've been weak on defense for the last several years our current weakness can be blamed largely on what you just said, thin...

LB Curtis Akins also not participating in pregame warmups. He's also out. Didn't play last week vs. UCF. Tim Hart will start in his place.

Whose fault is that recruit some D
Recruits won't make difference this early. They only had 1 true class.
As I said this is on Fuentes and Norvell
Since they were both OC's I guess it's natural for them to focus on offense, still indefensible that someone wasn't thinking about building a better defense. And Norvell sure wasn't thinking about kicking.

Personally, I wasn't THAT impressed with UCF. We hurt ourselves more than anything.
yep, we had a REALLY bad off night on offense. I didn't expect that much from the defense to begin with but figured we would hang with them offensively.

Just wait and see how our 2nd line defense plays against Navy next Saturday. For two years in a row our 1st line defense didn't have a clue on how to stop Navy!!!
