re: With Williams, Buggs, and Davis in the middle, what's up with the rush defense?

I think it's the LB's not filling the holes correctly.

I think you're exactly right. Our DL is supposed to occupy the offensive line so the LBs can flow and fill and make plays.

We're lucky Quinnen Williams and Isaiah Buggs are having monster years, or our rush defense would be considerably worse.

This is it. The vast majority of the our defensive woes go back to Mack and Moses, who I really like, but aren't up to the standard of recent seasons. Bad angles, missed tackles, and out of position. Moses was just getting stonewalled against Mizzou.

The DL and DB's are actually performing at or near normal levels.
