It is a talent problem. However I dont believe Vandy has any more defensive talent that us. We will see how we do next weekend. The defensive performance should be better. We will get some pressure on Patterson but we will have a hard time containing Patterson because we are so slow. He is smaller younger player. So maybe the secondary won't mind hitting him.

This is not a talent problem, that is, unless we have less talent than the rest of D1 football, because this defense is the worst to the naked eye. Our coaches have ****ed this defense up! How else can you explain HS players coming into this program, only to get worse, immediately.
