True, the defense looked impressive against UCLA and Wake Forest and played well at Notre Dame.  They fell apart in the second half against Oregon and they didn\'t have a good outing tonight.  While it\'s true that we won\'t play another team in the regular season that has the explosiveness of the Ducks, I do see a Nic Foles, Jake Locker, Shane Vereen, and James Rogers in our future (though I understand James may have sustained a knee injury today).  If we\'re going to finish strong we\'re going to need the defense to step up.  

But that\'s a conversation for Monday  :)
