I think state fans are GREATLY underestimating the effect that GREAT pass rush last year had on their pass defense numbers.

That's the most ignorant statement I have read on here.

The pass rush does not always come from the DL. For example, Gay had 6 sacks from the LB position out of their 39.

OK numbers returning but, doubt they will turn out to be one of the best secondaries in the SEC.

They had a total of 13 ints last year. Everybody returns except for 1 that accounted for those ints.

Abrams had 2. That means out of the 13 they had, they return the men that got 11 of those ints.


So let's move back to pass rushing.

Of 39 sacks they had... Sweatz had 11. Abrams 3. Simmons 2. Green 3. That's a total of 19. They return all of the others.

They had 103 TFL... Less than half of those were by those that left.
