Even if someone makes a sound argument you have made up your mind. That is what I call stout defense.
Some of the common defense sucks rebuttals:
If it was better it was only the D line and Banks gets no credit.
Ratings don't matter only results.
Who have we beat?
Some of my answers.
UF 2022 - 38 to 33
UF 2023 - 16 to 29 ( if UT scores 38 we win)
AL 2022 - 52 to 49
AL 2023 - 20 to 34 (if UT scores 52 we call it a bloodbath)
Mizz 2022 - 66 to 24
Mizz 2023 - 7 to 36 ( this was a much better offense and also 7 points gtho)
UGA 2022 - 13 to 27
UGA 2023 - 10 to 38 ( I will give you this one)
My main point to all of you is you need to assign blame for lack of good wins where it is due: offense. Heupel built this team to be offense 1st then you expect Banks to carry the water for a team scoring 16 points? GTHO with that silliness. Second Heupel built this defense to be predatory that means the DL has to be best. We'd cry if it wasn't. Third criticize the zone coverage all you want there are fair questions there, but remember they can be better and the secondary be average and the offense not win. All things can be true.
