RE: Best Defense in JMU History
Just got home from the game. So proud of our defense. It outscored UNH.

When I read the predictions made in the weekly threads and folks have us giving up 19-21 points, I chuckle to myself thinking are these folks even paying any attention to our games? Very pleased the D got their shutout they've been so close to all season.

Now, make it contagious and go get another one next weekend up in New England fellas.

If they win the National Championship, then they can be crowned as the best defense in JMU history without any question.

Can we please make an amendment to the thread title to "Best Defense in History". No need for the "JMU".

This.
Although not ready to crown them just yet. Let's finish the season and win the title. THEN we can call them the best.
But so far into the season.... hell yes.

They’re the best I’ve seen. I am concerned about a Valley Power O, but today was men among boys.

I know no one wants to see his name mentioned here but the one and only great contribution Withers made to this defense was the recruiting emphasis on "long" and "speed". Add this staff's schemes and aggressiveness and you got a lethal combo. Doesn't matter how big the lines are they go up against. And our backs are just smothering, I'll give a couple PIs and holds for their style any day. Well done!

Bingo. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Win a second consecutive title and we’ll revisit this thread.

I'm in the camp that thought we'd bend but not break today and give up more than 14. Feels great to be wrong and eat some crow. I sit right behind the defensive bench and we cheer the hell out of them when they come to sit down. Great performance!

They don't need to win a National Championship to be validated. Any number of things could have an impact on us winning another one. Defense recognition stands on it's own. Best in JMU history. Bar none. They are so good that the players almost seem nameless. Everyone position is 100% solid. The man coverage is a thing of beauty. We blitzed the most I have seen this year sending 6 or 7 many times and the N.H. QBs couldn't handle it.

Our first team D has given up 35 pts all season. That's 4.4 ppg.

Another shutout is in the cards for this upcoming week and if the guys can get it done, that ppg avg would drop under 4.


edit note: our overall D is responsible for 28 pts over the last 4 games too. Scored TD's in 4 straight games.

I just got done throwing that at stat at some NDSU fanboy on the facebook FCS nation group. Really something isn't it. I counted the field goal vs ETSU for a total of 38, but hey. Potato Potato. This game vs URI really should be fun to watch. I'm just glad we've got HCMH to keep the team focused vs what should be an over matched opponent.

There have been threads that detail the breakdown Matthews, Withers, Houston recruits on the defense. The turnaround on defense over 1-2 years from the sieve defense Withers last year is amazing. Culture system and coaching staff has made all the difference.
