[QUOTE="Illinnoying Orange, post: 1173435, member: 34679"] Look, I agree we improved some on defense this season. Although, there were still too many big chunk plays given up to not very good offenses this season. But to say we were good or made some big improvement the year before is just flat wrong. [B]We were 112th in total defense and 115th in rushing defense ... That's out of a total of 125 FBS teams in the country.[/B] We gave up an average of 35 points a game in 2014. That is staggeringly bad for a p5 program in 1984 or 2014. And there are way too many bowl games for any era (even in the everybody-gets-a-trophy generation) of football being played nowadays.
