NEWS FLASH: Texas defense played better, still horrible

[bbdude]

We lose Jordan Hicks for the season which sucks but the scarier stat is where this team ranks as a defensive unit. Curious?

They rank 108th out of 123 FBS teams. Greg Robinson is new to the DC position but his Michigan team in 2010 finished the season 108th in total defense.

Hopefully we only get better from here....

Greg Robinson also was DC for a team that won two Super Bowls..and..they played miles better than Manny had them playing. That is a low bar with how they played against Ole Miss and BYU.

The weird part about Manny's defense is seemingly anyone can make yards against it. BYU is 1-2, and in the non Texas games they scored 16 and 13 points. I have never seen anything like it in my life.

He lost the squad... Manny that is.. They were not listening or caring at all under his watch...

One of the guys on defense..can't remember who..said they never knew what his defense was..Some coaches just don't know how to coach. Manny is probably a good secondary or LB coach...but not a DC. That's on Mack for hiring the guy..

I feel very confident that the defense has improved. I fully expect them to only give up 55 against Baylor. I few weeks ago I expected at least 70.

Baylor may hang 88 on us... I'm a bit worried about Ash's concussions. Case ain't a viable backup and Mack has pussyfooted around playing Swoopes.
