Is your team going to be better or worse on defense in 2023, and why?

Here is the SEC total defense pecking order from 2022 in Yards Per Game:
1 Georgia 296.7
2 Kentucky 311.4
3 Alabama 318.2
4 Missouri 340.8
5 Mississippi State 344.5
6 LSU 354.6
7 Texas A&M 365.2
8 Mississippi 387.8
9 Auburn 395.3
10 South Carolina 404.7
11 Tennessee 405.3
12 Florida 411.0
13 Vanderbilt 461.2
14 Arkansas 464.8
UF will be better on defense in 2023 because it would seem impossible to be any worse. Right?
I think getting reinforcements on the DL and some young LB's up to speed will help out a lot on our front 7.

I'm gonna say worse in YPG but better in scoring.

Pretty much no where to go but up?

Hmmmmm
I’m going to go slightly better
Tons of talent. 2nd year with DC
Our offense not going 3 and out over and over will help the defense.
But
Concerns of depth at CB and LB. Injuries in either of those areas would possibly be an issue.

Return 80% of production so I’d say better but that’s pretty good already.

2011 Alabama gave up 183 yards per game

I’ll say about the same for LSU. D-line should be solid, linebackers strong, secondary may be worse.

I almost think they couldn't be worse.
Steele is likely exactly what this talented group needs. Simplified, disciplined and attacking. Let the talent play. Pete may be a savant, but it never translated on the field.

Better but not by a large margin.
They lost some off a solid front 7 but are deeper and better that LB. The Secondary is the liming factor for the team. The Oline will regress a bit against the run.

Easy answer for us

Run defense should be better
Pass defense will probably be the same or slightly worse

We'll be better. We return alot of talent and the secondary is running over with depth. When the LBs are healthy, they are second to none. I'd say our only weakness is not having a super-star in the middle of the DLine like Davis was in 2021 and Jalen Carter was last season. They're all talented and experienced. I just don't think we have that one crushing presence at NG. Not sure how that will affect the way they attack Os. Top to bottom this is probably KS's best unit.

better, pretty much impossible to be worse than last year.

Bama defense will be better. If nothing else the play call will get in on time and the guys will know what they are supposed to be doing

6 LSU 354.6
Front 7 will be strong. Adding a couple all-conference-level players in Maason Smith DL and Omar Speights LB.
New corners, but they were new last year too, and this pair (Chestnut and Alexander) should be maybe a bit better. Year 2 in the House scheme, so guys who return will be more familiar with the nuances.
And not least of all, the schedule looks to be less challenging. Swap Tennessee out for Missouri, Bama's skill positions are considerably less imposing, no more Air Raid at Miss State, and Achane is gone at A&M. Arkansas (particularly if KJ plays) should be good, but it's at Tiger Stadium, as is Auburn and Fla (2 other teams that should improve).

Better because the past is past and the future is now!

Better if only due to our 2nd year removed from the stench of Todd Grantham.
UF has a new "Wonder Boy" as DC. He can't do worse than the previous 2. Can he?
