Question about MSU's pass defense

MSU is 120th (out of 125) in pass defenses, giving up 300 yards/per game (which is hard to do). That was very suprising to me for a number 1 ranked undefeated team.
Digging a little deeper they are a much better but still not great 37th in pass efficiency defense, indicating that their pass defense isn't as atrocious as the raw passing stat would indicate.
MSU fans, tell me about your team's passing defense.
Is this just a matter of teams slinging it a bunch to play catch up or are teams doing work in the passing game early and against your first string as well?
Is there a bend but don't break philosophy to the pass defense?
Does MSU have anyone that can cover Amari Cooper (assuming the real Cooper shows up, and not the second half against LSU Cooper)?

Teams can't run on them, so they have to throw.
Also, MSU gets a big lead earlier - which forces teams to throw the ball down field more.
Stats can be misleading.

If you want to know, call Saban and ask him. He probably has a program for it that he'd be happy to share with you.
Bama will lose this game.

We're susceptible to the deep ball that I haven't seen much to indicate Sims being capable of throwing with any form of consistency...
We play very little man. Ton of zone. Ton of soft zones up big with a bunch of backup players. Our corner play outside of the UAB fiasco has been between good -- our free safety has been the issue at times. Not an athletic issue, but a mental issue. We've also got a lb that's salty in coverage when we bump him out...
We have separate safety and corner coaches -- and they seem to have alot more trouble getting on the same page at times than I'd like.
