re: Worse defense: 2005 or 2013

2 of those 3 redshirted man. I wouldn't put Justin Warren as an impact player either. He made 32 total tackles as a freshman (which placed 5th among LBers that year). Hell Donnie Baggs made 27 last year to give you an idea how impactful that is. And whether you feel like he regressed or not, Warren made 95 tackles as a JR and 93 as a SR.
