How did I know that there would be a post similar to Wartdawg's? It is a valid post and the same question seems to come up when Grantham's boys stats are posted.
There are teams out there that are rated higher and if we look close enough, we usually find out that those teams have better offenses.
When we look closely at where this defense starts defending, talking about field position, pretty darn impressive stats.
Watched this group against Boise State and South Carolina, this is not the same group that teed it off at the beginning of this season. Grantham is quick to say that there will be further improvement with this group. At this point, I have to believe Coach Grantham knows his business.
We will get tested with Auburn, no doubt in my mind. That might be the team we play that determines just how good we are defensively. Get past Auburn, might get the true test with the winner of this week's contest between LSU/Alabama.
Anytime we can applaud efforts made by the offense or defense, proves that we are not standing still, as was the case with Bobo/Martinez. Feel that Coach Grantham and his crew have made believers not only of some fans but the participants that wear the gear.
