To preface I think Chinander’s defense will be fine and we will be average (similar to UCF last year), which is still a major improvement. I just don’t think we have the right guys on the team to be good and do everything required for his defense to truly be successful. Also, we will only play 3 teams that were in the top 50 in scoring offense last year (if I counted correctly).Against southern Florida and Memphis... 2 of the top 7 offensive teams in the nation?
Edit: I guess as long as we don’t face top 10 offenses, we should be fine.
But having said that, wouldn’t you want to judge his defense off of how it played against the best offenses? I mean it doesn’t prove much when you are shutting down terrible offenses, right? I mean we are basing our ideas that our offense will be great off of SF’s success in his past and specifically having the number 1 scoring offense last year. But outside of Auburn who they had 1 month to prepare for, they faced only 1 top 50 defense (USF at 41). So you could argue that they should’ve scored a ton of points because they played against terrible defenses.
