Absolutely, the way we play O is most definitely a factor whenever talking D. No matter what anyone says, our offense is hard on defenses, including our own, especially our's that is still WAY behind whenever it comes to personnel. Im excited to see how it holds up with the horses. However, MANY times, all our defense had to do was get off the field, and it had NOTHING to do with our O...we just couldn't hold, for WHATEVER reason. MSU's O is a huge factor, as well. First off, MSU only allowed like 7 more points than we did this year; but, their O turned the ball over more times than ours. Yeah, many factors.
Reasons I like Arnett are proof and experience, just more years than Banks; and that proof is, he's top 15 in every single category across DCs with 4 or more yrs; and, as I said, his defenses continue getting better from year to year...did at SDSU, and have at MSU. A 3rd year Banks is going to allow me, and what I look for, to really state my opinion on him, and stand better by said opinion. I've already developed my opinion on Arnett, and feel comfy standing by it.
