This D has been so good. Way better than I thought. Couldn’t have dreamed of keeping them under 30.

BUT, BUT… 3rd and 15 should not consistently be easy for our opponent. Most teams have an overall 3rd down D better than our 3rd and 10+ defense. Just needs to get fixed.

Something’s an issue, and it’s not just talent. Wisconsin for crying out loud got whatever they wanted.

Defense needs to step up here.

I was amazed seeing that TN so far is 5-10 on 3rd down. Why do we become so passive defensively when up more than one score? I would blame AHEN, but BB has the ability to overrule. Come on!

In fairness, the defense has been better today.

But because it’s been generally speaking more aggressive is infuriating. Add on top of that going 3 man rush there on 3rd and 15 and makes me pull my hair out

It's been better because we are getting some pressure without blitzing. On 3rd and long though we drop into zone 2 deep coverage with our DBs starting 10-15 yards deep

I'll take it over a big play. We've done a great job on D today.
