Defensive effort was superb,and gave indications of what I hope will come in 2023. McGill broke up Pyne's pass on 4th and 7 with a minute left to seal the deal. Herron had a of immense proportions sack on 2nd and 4. Stanford broke a three-game losing streak to Notre Dame, we recovered two of three ND fumbles and had a first half shutout by the defense. Two sacks, six tackles for loss.
Would love to see that level of defense next year on a consistent basis.
I was actually at that game in person and it was a ton of fun.
16 defensive players recorded a tackle in that game. 9 are gone, and 2 more are currently in the portal.
We've essentially hit the reset button on the entire program, and "coaching up" players takes time, so I'd expect very little next year. The good news is practically everyone on next year's defense (and offense, for that matter) will be returning again in 2024.
