The defense looked great Saturday. We didn't have a RB carry longer than 10 yards, some of it could be contributed to what we had to work with at that position. We didn't have a wide open pass play (meaning no glaring breakdowns in coverage). Of course you have to take it with a little grain of salt considering we were pretty vanilla on both sides, but I like what I saw way more than last year.

On the line -
1. Hunter lived in the backfield (4 sacks) and Bower was dominant himself.
2. Both lines did good against the run (although we had a guy nursing an ankle and what amounted to basically 3 FBs running the ball).
3. Jury's still out on run the DLs run defense til we get Fournette and Williams here.

In the middle -
3. The LBs were great. The line held up to allow them to mash the RBs for little to no gain most of the time. This is what we lacked even against teams like UAB and Towson last year.
2. Guys like Feist (14 tackles in first half alone playing against #1 offense), Debo (pic 6), and Kwon (pic 6), made some really great plays.
3. I feel like with depth behind Welter (Beckwith, thumper Garrett when he gets here), and Feist and Debo showing up behind Kwon and Lewis, we'll be way better in run defense as a front seven. We are going to need it very early and often too.

Over the top -
1. Man where do I begin? While they didn't have any ints like in the previous scrimmages, they blanketed every single WR out there. If you had any luck catching the ball, congratulations.
2. The guys who did catch the balls (when they weren't dropping perfectly placed balls, ugh) caught them with a DB in their hip pocket.
3. Both 1st and 2nd string DBs looked good and I mean guys like Paris who just got here. If we aren't top 3 in pass defense in the SEC, then I don't know what happened between now and the season.
4. Watching one WR catch a lot of passes in high traffic (spectacular grabs), tells me that we have at least one very dangerous receiving threat.
