If you can't see the difference between last year and this year
No one is saying our defense is amazing this year, but our defense was one of the worst in the history of college football last year (I'm not exaggerating). This year they're ranked in the Top 20 in most categories, and even if they slide down after playing better competition, will still be a top 40 defense, which is amazing improvement from 115 or wherever we were last season.
