Personally I would take a change in Defensive Coordinators.  The defensive plan was awful, and we seemed unwilling to try something else.  We proved time and time again that with 3 men rushing, our 8 could not cover their 5.  I never noticed anything resembling any kind of adjustment.  Once we got behind we had no chance to catch up with them scoring on every possession.  Utah held them to 13 points I think.  What did they do we didn't do?  Are their guys that much better than ours?

Our defense was crippled with injuries.
Having said that, you would think we would have learned to play against Wazzu's Air Raid better than we have. Every year we get torched.
