The defense has been ok. You have to consider the competition though. Lville as much as I hate to say it, might not win a game in the Big East and is coming off a 4win season, and WKU who is on a 20+ game losing streak. They've not stopped the run well so far and when the SEC schedule rolls around, that problem is going to lose them games.

I hope that as the schedule picks up their intensity and performance meet the occasions. You are completely correct that this particular part of the team component will hurt them in the end but I have faith that they will turn a corner.
