Our D is playing great thus far.  DC Kevin Steele and his staff have done a very good job thus far managing the talent they have on the D side of the ball.  T Wil is the best D coach on the staff.   

Thanks should also be sent to Will Muschamp and his staff last year for changing the attitude and culture of our D.

This really puts it in perspective the years we had a good defense.  This year is tied for the best defense in this category. Even the Tubby years.

Not to hijack but throughout October it has seemed our D is on the verge of a multiple interception game. We sure have the closing speed and could sure use a pick or two against Kelly.

I'd love to see our defense put a few notches on their belt and score a few TDs against the Black Bears in Oxford.

It also shows how amazing it is that we won it all in 2010 and almost won it all in 2013.
