This defense is loaded. It has stars, it has experience, it has depth......

So which game are we going to show up and look like we totally forgot how to call blitzes, cover a slant or switch when 2 receivers run a rub route?

Texas seems like the obvious one, yea?

Yea, I believe they will be locked in all season as well. As long as we stay healthy, I think this defense will show up every game.

I personally cannot wait until the first Pete Golding Special 5 Mississippi Safety Blitz of the season.

Means it’s football time.

They will be up for the Tx game. First SEC game will be the barometer. Lesser opponent that they slack off on.

This group has absolutely no excuses to make mental errors this year. The experience returning along with coaching continuity should make this a really good unit. Communication should NOT be an issue.

The way players were talking today, I think they spent lot of time in offseason correcting lot of stuff... there shouldn't be that many mental errors going forward.... I expect Defense to be so nasty by halfway through season.

So y’all are saying the Fire Golding hashtags will be up by the third game.

The defense can’t be record breaking because of the rules against it, but it will be dominate and the best in college football today. Bet on it, mark in down, revisit this post in December. We gonna wreak shite.

Disclaimer: some teams might score 30 (Kiffin) on this defense, but we’ll score 50 on there’s.

History has shown thatonce we have a group that has some years together defensively they become a shitdown unit by their jr/sr year. This group can fit that 2011, 2015-2016 groups.

This is uncharacteristically pessimistic for you. The defense is going to be lights out this year.

Fixed. 3rd and 13, Battle on a delayed blitz, easy pitch and catch to the TE, #FireGolding begins trending.

They'll be great. I won't believe they are going to be a death squad who murders souls every second of every game until I see it for myself.

I'm the same way. While I want to believe that they will achieve GOAT-level status on par with 1992, 2011, and 2016, I still need to see them play someone before I start making grand pronouncements.

Don’t forget about putting the best pass rusher in America in Zone Coverage on an obvious passing down.

I mean, yes absolutely.

I have faith they'll be very good and will probably be elite by year end. I don't have faith we won't have 1-2 games where we just forget how to play defense. I have to be proven wrong on that before I buy in.
