Is it just me, or does anyone else think we're worrying way too much about the offense and not enough about the defense? We haven't had a top-25 defense since 2016, IMO. That's a loooong stretch of underwhelming performance. In fact, I would argue that 2016 is the last time that the defense was appreciably better than the offense.

Yes, absolutely.  The amount of "ink" given to perceived (and some actual) offensive on this site woes vastly exceeds the amount devoted to the very real and much more severe and persistent defensive troubles.  And, looking at recruiting and recruiting gaps, there is nothing that gives me any comfort that this situation is going to change in the next few years.
