AUIH1 1,515 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 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. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is tied for the best defense in this category. Even the Tubby years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 It also shows how amazing it is that we won it all in 2010 and almost won it all in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
