| FTBL How our defense's performance stacks up!

[aMAZEnFan]

This is one of the best performances our 'inexperienced' defense has shown in quite a while.

Just how dominate were they? Well, the numbers don't lie:

-We were tied at 4th in points allowed at 10
-We were 2nd in total yards allowed at 188
-We were tied at 8th in passing yards allowed at 188
-We were 1st in rushing yards allowed at 0

They added 3 sacks, 1 interception, 1 fumble caused, 1 fumble recovery, several QB hurries, and a few pass deflections.

Nationally...

Tied for 23rd for scoring defense (though I put seven on special teams).

14th in yards allowed.

Tied for 51st in passing yards allowed...somewhat bogus in that Clemson probably got 50 on that last drive.

2nd in rushing yards allowed.

Considering that we played the #9 team, I'd say that's still impressive.
