Does anyone think that this defense is showing signs of being a conference-champion caliber defense? Because I'm liking what I'm seeing out of these young guys more and more every week.
I think it correlates with:
(1) Playing a pair of anemic offenses in Michigan and Michigan State. Neither team has been putting up much against anyone else. Our defense looked like it turned a corner against Illinois and Purdue as well, and then Minnesota happened.
(2) The remainder of the improvement is due to Bo
finally using the blitz and bringing some pressure. Now, ask yourself how much confidence you have in a supposed "defensive mastermind" who took 3 years to figure out what 90% of the fans and media have been saying the entire time.
