They basically said our defense sucks and cannot stop or slow down anyone. That's what I took away.

Yeah either that site or DRC tried to load a virus on my machine

I read the Athlon article referenced...

After reading the comments regarding the other "top half" teams in both the east and the west....

I came away with this:

The rest of the conference does not think favorably of UNT and aren't scared of them compared to the other front runners....

They LOVE La Tech....LOVE UAB.....but basically UNT is a fun offensive team but nothing else

 

This is a good thing

I like the way they think. Keep them complacent.

Only one slight against our defense.  Don't overblow this.  Imagine it came from Brad Lambert and go back to your beer.

Totally agree.  Especially La. Tech.  They think we were a fluke last year!

The knock on the defense was a valid comment and was said with kid gloves on. Defensively, we were a joke. An unfunny joke. Hopefully we'll be less of one in 2018. That's TBD and IMO easily the biggest uncertainty going into the season.

We just field a mediocre defense this year and we’re in serious business. Our offense is gonna be sick.

I love our offense, but I missed the days of being known for having a stout defense.  Hope we are headed in that direction.
