And to just look at yards/game and say Oklahoma St. has a bad defense is ridiculous. These high tempo offense teams always give up lots of yards defensively because they score so quickly and on so few plays that the opposition offense gets a lot more time on the field than against a ball control team like Bama or LSU (not to say OSU is nearly as good as them). We heard the same argument about Oregon last year and they were one of the few teams to shut down Newton. Come back with the yards/play numbers and we'll talk. And that doesn't even mention the ridiculous amount of turnovers the OSU defense forces.
And who exactly in the SEC would pick on that defense? The inept offenses of Florida, Auburn, Tennesse, South Carolina?

I can tell you that only having a total of seven offensive linemen, a terrible qb at best and 175lb running backs and a whole new offensive scheme and that isn't going to do well..
UF had no depth this year and the offense couldn't sustain a drive giving the defense no breaks. We have 67 scholarship players (85 is the limit) and 66% of the team are freshman and sophomore's. We won't be good for atleast another two years.
