Our defense struggled in one game this year so far against one of the best CFB players ever.



I think people downplay Manziel a lot...that guy is INCREDIBLY GOOD. Probably the best offensive player I've seen in my life.

Ever since Cody left after '09 we've had people lamenting the lack of a "dominant" NG. Personally, I think people put too much stock in that notion while under-rating the jobs done by players like Chapman and Ivory.

Stop with the dismantling of the secondary. I honestly just see a lack of push up front. We have ALWAYS had a dominant force in the middle, Mount Cody, Williams, But Ivory is our weakest point on the defense. Complete failure. Their job is to provide push and a barrier for running backs/mobile quarter backs but he does neither. Also does not require a double team to free up our linebackers. That being said, No pass rush= a receiver bound to be open.
