We are now leading the nation in 3rd Down Conversion Defense after holding Georgia to one conversion in 10 attempts. In four games we have only allowed teams to convert a third down into a first down on an incredible 1 out of 5 attempts. If not for Gurley, the best running back in college football, we win that game going away!

So you're saying we could have won if not for the other team having the best player in college football.......brilliant.

That's nice and all but we still gave up 70 pts the last 2 games. If you wanna complain about something it should be the defense and not the offense that so many are cryin about

The def is good enough to win 8 games.. I've seen similar def in fulmer yrs and we would end up in the 8 win range. Saying that their off were better so it seems we can never get both playing well lately.

to be fair the offense did give up a defense score in both of those games along with the defense getting 2 picks yesterday that the offense turned into 0 points.

I'm thinking the "3rd Down for What?" noise will be deafening come high noon on Saturday.

Check your facts my friend. Both of those teams are averaging 45 points per game right now. Our defense held them to 34/35. And as already mentioned, the offense gave away a TD in both games, so our defense has held both offenses to almost 20 points under their average.

I would also like to point out that both of those teams scored less on us than anyone else they played this year with the exception of Georgia/S. Carolina. Georgia scored 35 on Carolina as well.

Our defense is good. It's the only reason why we are still in these games. Our offense needs to convert when we have the opportunities.

Playing teams like Troy tend to inflate offensive production my friend.

So South Carolinas defense impresses you? I guess my point is, most people are complaining about the offense when IMO there is just as much wrong with the defense. Understand this, im not really complaining about either one, I just cant believe everybody tries to blame our OC for everything. I actually think were doing pretty good on both sides of the ball with all things considered. Were mentally tough, well conditioned, and well disciplined. I see very few reasons to question anything this staff does at this point.

Personally I think our defense is the best we've had since 2009. And that's saying a lot considering the youth.

"3rd Down for what?" sounds a little corny to me, but I gotta admit it sure beats the heck out of "3rd and Chavis."
