Yet our defense was worse last year by a significant degree.

By the eye test? Absolutely.

2023 FEI D: 9
2022 FEI D: 3

2023 PPD D: 19
2022 PPD D: 14

2023 YPP D: 21
2022 YPP D: 18

This isn't popular because it doesn't fit what I think we all see on the field and what we want to believe, but the advanced analytics all say we were better defensively last year.

I don’t give a shite, we’re better on defense and I couldn’t be happier that Pete is gone.

Stats may say a different story but there wasn't one crucial stop in the worst time of the game that I was confident we could get as a defense under golding. That has changed, we had crucial stop after crucial stop our entire season this year

Golding feasted against shitty teams which pumped up the numbers. Steele’s defenses are more consistent regardless of the competition

In addition Golding had a much more talented team

FBS teams with winning records:
2022 unit in 7 games gave up 397 ypg and 25.6 ppg
2023 so far in 8 games has given up 348 ypg and 20 ppg

rankings don't mean anything, especially since there were more good defenses this year than last.

I'll take results over analytics!
