I agree with that...they are improving from week to week unlike offense and special teams. I was just commenting that giving up big run plays instead of big pass plays reminds me of last season.I don't understand why everyone thinks the defense is reverting back to crap. We've given up 189 total yards....thats it.
The boosters will have the biggest sway in how all this plays out...especially if we do not make a bowl game.The problem is there have been a lot of head coaches that go 5-7 but turn it around in year 2. Only way Riley goes is either by realizing this wasn't meant for him and steps down OR boosters/fan disappointment is at Callahan level and Eichorst gives in and admits his mistake and goes for hire no. 2 ala Pat Haden at USC.
