What no one is talking about - it's a positive too

You don't play for Hill unless to get dirty in the run/screen game.

The TEs are much improved as well.

It certainly eroded under Washington.

Wideout blocking under Washington was great when he had experienced players.

Coaching matters, but not near as much as having talent and experience. That's 1 of the reasons I think the defense will be good within a year or 2. There's young talent there. The starting back 7 in 2019 was on the field Saturday.
LBs Brooks and Miller
NB Bledsoe
CBs: Acy and Sparks, though Holmes, Alton, and Petry could be there as well.
S: Ulmer and Gillespie.
You could also include Williams, Turner, & Whiteside on the DL.
This seems more like a case of 2015, but it's the defense that's now super young.
BO has to get to 6-7 wins now though, to get the chance of coaching experienced players he brought in for his defense.

Well when he ran out it guys that had played under Hill, there was no experienced players.
In a 2 year window Mizzou lost all the WRs with experience.

Maybe Washington wasn't a good coach, maybe the players just needed experience.

Hey, Nuke...does Hill get the credit for all the dropped passes last year by the receivers and them having problems shaking press coverages by teams with decent defenses.
Example: Florida and LSU

As opposed to 2015 when they struggled to come down with the ball vs Arkansas State?

I like what I saw with Roundtree; mostly north/south

I like the fact that you can't find much daylight between the ball and his body when he changes direction. If Strong ran like that we wouldn't be talking about Rountree.
