A Thread devoted to a pretty dominating D 2015 edition

[wretched]

So much talk about the offense and its progress, lack of progress, whose calling plays, who should be the QB, what system they should run, yada, yada, yada...I love D and I love this D So I start a thread to talk about what is great with UNI football DEFENSE

I was just taking a look at the team defensive stats for just Valley games and the Panthers are only giving up 2.8 per rush, take out Coprich's long run and it drops to an absurd 2.5 per rush. Most sacks in conference play with more to come this week as they go up against the team who has given up the most sacks in conference play. Just a dominating front 7! Team is second in picks and first in fumble recoveries and if you watch UNI regularly you know the forced fumbles are no accident.

Agreed. Defense has been great. The only reason we still have a playoff chance. So good that we're also trying them out on the offensive side of the ball on occasion

some of our defensive backs had more catches (interceptions) than some of our receivers (receptions), even before the DBs took snaps with the offense.

Does this have Bryce Paup's fingerprints on it? I know Farley has always paid attention to this side. Seems like its team defense, not just a few stars. Loved the swarming to the ball & gang tackling last week. Hoping we can cover the 3rd & 10 this week.

It would be good football to see Iowa State's Mike Warren play an entire game against the UNI defense. One of the disappointments of the season was not getting to see Warren play more in the first game.

20 pts. allowed in the last 12 quarters. I don't care who you're playing, that's unreal.
