MP, I think they will be a Top 10 D this year. Last year was a abberation. Cosgrove totally whacked them out of synch with a new defense. The Blackshirts were a Top 10 D in 03 and they had most everyone back from that defense last year. There's no other way to explain their collapse-sp last year. Most of the malcontents who didn't buy into the new way of doing things were booted or left the team after last season. They shouldn't have been as bad as they were... yet they were. Wake Forrest has a good running game. I believe 11 th in the nation last year. William Andrews(Pro Bowl RB with the Falcons in the late 70's early 80's) kid Micah ran for 254 yrds last week. And he's not even their starting RB. Their #1 guy was suspended last week but will play tomorrow. If we can hold them under 140 total yrds on the ground the Blackshirts will of had a good day. Good barometer for them tomorrow.
We'll see. Tune in to TBS tomorrow night and have a look see.

I agree as long as the DB's don't get hurt this D will be good. The Dline is much improved over that crap we had last year.

I so hope we look at Daniel Bullocks. That guy was everywhere today and he took the ball right out of a RB's hands and ran it 30 for a TD. He is solid in coverage and is damn tough against the run. He Blitzes well also.

I realize it is only Wake Forest but the D looked awesome. Offenes made some good plays, hopefully they can continue to gel. 2-0 Bring on PITT!

Offense worries me a bit, but the defense has been doing it all on their own so far. I expect our secondary will struggle against some better teams (like Texas Tech), but I expect to see a drastic improvement over last years disaster. Last year we had almost no interceptions or fumble recoveries. So much for that problem! No excuses for losing to Pitt. Go Big Red!!!!!!!!!!!

The offense was pretty weak, but so many of our players are new. You could see as the game went on they started to improve. I think around mid season they'll hit full stride and we should do ok.

Our defense looked really good though, they are gonna have to shoulder alot of the load this season to keep us in the game against tougher teams.

That defense is something else! Offense needs to figure out how to score, but as long as our d keeps scoring, I am happy!

The defense has yet to face a competent offense.

The offense has yet to face a competent defense, and they have struggled.

ONLY TWO offensive touchdowns in 2 games? Wow.

Seeing as K-state should have lost to Marshall, I wouldn't be worrying too much about nebraska if I were you. Take away two fumbles and one of the stupidest play calls in NCAA history and Marshall would have beaten you for the second time in three years.

I would have to agree that our D has yet to be really tested and that our O is struggling, but I think they are making progress. Seeing how Palko played against Ohio, I would expect a few more picks for our defense this week. Iowa State and Texas Tech could be tough.

Irrelevant, glory hunter. At least we had the chutzpah to play on the road. 5 games in a row at home. Unbelievable.

Even against a competent offense, I would bet they are at least formidable.

We are improving every game, especially our young players.

I see that CU broke into the CNNSI top 25 this week. May be short lived though, tough ass game coming up this weekend!
