The Deuce: Not saying it’s bad because he’s great. But our DL appears to be a disaster

That’s a fact (barring a late portal barrage) and if that tracks will make the DBs jobs that much harder. We weren’t great rushing the passer last year and our top guy is gone.

Let’s also not forget LB was a bad unit last year and not sure how good
It’s looking now.

It’s not grizzle. It’s a fact

...IMO.

They weren't setting the world on fire with him either, but he is a playmaker, and our secondary woefully lacked in playmaking after his departure, the occasional Miles Scott INT notwithstanding.

Obviously, it would be irresponsible to say OSU or Indiana would've gone differently, but I think it's reasonable to say Washington and Wisconsin may have had a different feel if our (at minimum) 2nd best defensive player was on the field.

DL... yeah,... no doubt... you can have 18-19 great starters, and if your 3-4 DL all suck, you are going 2-10... that's Big Ten football... but BB has given us no reason to believe he won't patch something together... he's earned a fair amount of rope on this.
