I, as with everyone, got a little spoiled being at the top of the heap, so I've been looking at this defense through the blinders of last season. Let's look at some numbers from this current season
Total Yards Allowed per Game: 316.1 ranked 5th overall
Total Points per Game: 21.4 ranked 10th overall
3rd down Percentage: 44% Tied for 21st overall
Passing YPG: 226.6 ranked 10th overall
Rushing YPG: 89.6 ranked 6th overall
Sacks: 10 Ranked 26th overall
Interceptions: 3 Ranked 26th overall
Realistically this is still a top 10 defense in the important categories Like yards per game and points per game. We are top 10 in both rushing yards allowed and Passing Yards allowed.
Our weakness seems to currently lie in the turnovers, and 3rd down percentage. We have been just missing turnovers every game this year. If we can turn around the 3rd down statistic, this defense could be back to their elite form.
