i don't think anyone has claimed anything about our defense other than that they are awesome.

a more helpful thread would compare and contrast which quarterback is worse bad using statistics rather than "that one ball that he threw short that one time" and "why was he throwing on 3rd and 4th down"

kthxbye

Newsflash, BC has cover corners and cover safeties and thus can press cover and get to the QB with 4 guys, 2 of whom are well above average pass rushers as freshmen. Hence, they are much better than almost all college defenses.
