I am so thoroughly perplexed and frustrated with the defense right now. Getting abused.

This is becoming a pattern, though. The corners continuously play too far off the receivers and essentially give up 5-8 yards. They tackle poorly (along with the linebackers) and take bad angles. We don't have a pass rush. The linebackers also take bad angles and don't swarm the ball. Moeller just looks so slow out there. And, we aren't creating turnovers at the pace we have in the past. The D just isn't opportunistic.

It's bizarre though, because at times (the first halves against Nebraska and Wisconsin, for instance), the D looks incredible. But it's clear that there is a template for abusing this year's defense.
