Expected. We need another recruiting class or two to have some truly decent depth on defense

Just watched the press conference from today. This defensive effort made Kiffin depressed

Today could have been a handful of things. It could be that this offense is even better than many have said it will be. Or maybe it’s just way ahead of where most offenses are this early on. Maybe this defense just still needs a little more time. You’d certainly think that might be the case. We’d pretty much always expect our offense to be better than our defense no matter how good the defense is or is not, etc., etc.

Don't look deep into the offense dominating the first scrimmage. The defenses typically play very vanilla. Little to no blitzing. No defensive gimmicks. etc.

If the offense DOESN'T dominate....that's something to worry about.

The kicking game was perfect Sunday, as there were no missed field goals or PATs. Kiffin said it’s a “competitive race,” adding it’s a “good problem to have.”

Not surprising. Our first team offense is one of the best units in the country. Just have to hope that the defense can string together some opportunistic stops and turnovers when we need them to. Like others have said, we are a recruiting cycle or two away from having a really good defense.

Kiffin has been giving Corral a lot of praise. Thinking about how good Corral can be this year brings me great joy.

Love to hear that the kicking game has been solid in camp. I have a feeling our specialists are going to be the absolute difference in at least one game this year.

"Truly decent?"

Hell, at this point, I'll take "barely serviceable."
