We are just going to disagree on that.

so you truly think that State's pass D, who is 121/124 in pass defense, is 'great'? I'm not surprised.

They just don't get it at all! Again, I hope Collins and Mullen can keep this up over the next 3 years. The system seems to be working.

Find me a stat, any stat, any metric, any game that shows that State's pass D is "great".

Not terrible? Decent? Even good? Ok, I can follow you there.

Great? Nah

Ok, well, the discussion was about pass defenses and what made yours "great".

"9-0" doesn't really cover it but alright.

I'm a State grad but also a realist. The only way Redmond shuts down Cooper is if he drugs him !

It's funny -- a whole thread on how our pass d "sucks" based on a single aggregate stat, while ignoring that we see 25% more passes than anyone else in conference(literally 10 more per game) -- because everyone is playing from multiple tds behind while they can't run on us. And we're playing 2nd and 3rd string DBs quite a bit of the time.

Passes Defended - 1st in SEC
PBUs - 1st in SEC
Completion % D - 2nd in SEC
YPA D - 8th in SEC
INTs - 4th in SEC
Opp QB Rating D - 6th in SEC

If you honestly think we're the "worst" secondary in the SEC and just going to line up and let Cooper beat us, I don't even know what to tell you...

But I can see why it would be inconvenient for a Bama fan to look below the surface and find actual realities. It's much easier to find a stat that says something sucks and stick with that...
