And Purdue was held to -2, which really helps the numbers. They are definitely improving however, I am impressed with the defensive staff. They still will not be good enough to carry this team in 2021. Special teams will probably still be poor, due to lack of attention. The offense loses Wan'Dale, will have two freshman tackles (Benhart really being a sophomore), a freshman LG, and who knows at RG. Jurgens was much improved in the last 3 games but people still lament him being the weak link which I disagree with. There is little returning WR production, save Toure from FCS at a lower level. There is no proven RB in the room, although boosted slightly if Stepp gets a waiver but he has a long history of injuries. I just can't see the offense being much different, and Adrian will still get blamed for all that even if it's only partially his fault. All that said, add in the schedule plus all the D experience returning, and the defense could be improved over 2020 by a fair amount and still be statistically worse in 2021. The delta being the continued lack of any help from ST and the offense. I am excited to watch the defense this year. Quote Link to comment

Honesty, I haven't seen any real improvement in the HCSF's first 3 seasons and subsequently don't expect much to change this year. IMHO, it is imperative that we go 3-1 in the first 4 games if there is going to be any chance of making a bowl. OU is a loss but they must find a way to beat Ill, Buff & MSU. Starting 2-2 or 1-3 could lead to a disastrous season. On 1/13/2021 at 12:45 PM, Cdog923 said: Oh nice, we've got a bunch of pieces from the *checks notes* 66th ranked scoring defense last year.

Some improvement lasts for a game or 2 then we take a few steps back. So it is very had to tell if any improvement has actually happened. That is my overall feeling on our team. I dont think that is exaggerating and I dont think it is unreasonable to think that is unacceptable. I want Frost to succeed and I am pissed how things are today because I was drinking the kool aide. As far as the QB's specifically. I think after Adrian's freshman year most people thought welp we got him for 2 more years then he is gone. Now 2 years later it doesnt look like he will even go pro. On 12/20/2020 at 10:33 PM, The Dude said: The problem for me is the "improvement" coincided with playing really bad offenses the last 4 games, and it feels like I've seen that movie before. I'd like to see how Chinander's "improved" defense does against an offense with a pulse before anointing him. He does have a long track record of being incompetent, afterall. 2 Quote Link to comment

We also didn’t play any non con games to pad some stats. I would say it is easy to see the progress of our defense against the rush, especially when the statistics verify improvements.

suh_fan93 Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 I thought our defense was pretty scrappy last year compared to a lot of others. I think we have some passionate guys out there who have shown they can make big plays. At the same time even with 9 of 11 returning they have a lot to prove. Can they consistently be a good defense and how will they fare against this years schedule compared to last? Even more perplexing is hopefully we don't have another stagnant offense to make their jobs even harder. Quote Link to comment

Oh, I absolutely see progress, just wanted to point out that no matter how good or bad Wiscy is, they are guaranteed to put up unreal rushing numbers against us. 1 Quote Link to comment
