Ted Roof's defense had a big problem with the DB's looking for the ball as well. You have to admit, we have done much better the past two seasons with our DB's looking for the ball.

There are some great points in this thread about the defense. I think some of us/you should temper your expectations a little. I remember how excited we were when Van Gorder and Ellis came. Same type of discussion here.

Both failed at getting our defense back. Not sure Boom will come in and make a dramatic impact for a while. Takes time.

I'm assuming most ITT played sports at some kind of level in saying this.....

The MENTALITY of our defense was to blame for a shitload of our issues last year. Our D had no fight, no swagger, nothing. They were just trying to do their assignment and that's it (most of the time not doing their assignment and not even lining up correctly).

There are two specific things that i GUARANTEE will have improved and are at least worth a defensive TD per game, IMO.....
1. defenders actually caring about what they do/being excited to do it
2. not having a scheme that's easy to predict.

Those 2 things alone will improve our defense a lot. And really are things that you can bank on being done. Muschamp won't ALLOW for #1 to be an issue.
