    No way homie. They have good coverage corners and LB's but they better find a pass rush before the piggies come to down. Nobody is on LSU's level right now.

    Florida has some good, young edge rushers, so it will be interesting to watch them go up against a good passing attack tomorrow.

    I agree with that cautiously optimistic approach, although,at this point it is hard not to be so exuberrantly positive about this defense!;)

    What struck me most with this team are their speed, discipline, tackling and believe in themselves. The whole defense seems to have already gelled together.

    We just played 2 outstanding offenses and dominated both.

    I don't need any more sample size.

    This defense is only going to get better.

    Once a ball is caught, its unreal how fast the other defenders close in.

    Ok, they've played Kent State, Penn St., and will play N. Texas today. And, we have another tough game next week on the road in Morgantown, so who has played the tougher schedule to date?

    They do not have a leg to stand on with that argument. I believe our schedule is among the toughest in the nation.

    I think that's fair. This D is built to stop the spread option attack and it has exceeded expectations so far, but I want to see it against a more traditional or pro style offense, similar to what Bama and Ark run. Everyone is kind of sleeping on Ark this year. While they haven't played anyone yet, they've been impressive too. We'll find out more about what kind of team they have soon enough.

    AR is suffering bad in the running Department. Davis is down, maybe for life, DJ is not 100%, the hamstring keeps knottin up on him, Wingo hasn't quite figured it out yet, and Walker just doesn't have the experience.

    Granted, Wilson is dynomite, and the receiving core is top notch, but they are going to have get some additional dimension on O if they are going to beat the better SEC teams. I live in AR, am a big piggy fan until the last game of the season [the LSU game], and I can tell you, the fans here are nervous.

    On the brighter side, their D is showing a lot of improvement, but again, it hasn't been tested against a more dangerous offense.

    I'll be really suprised if they rack up 50 pts against Bama.
