I wouldn't go that far but damn I have said we don't have a pass rush or secondary from August and it seemed like everyone on here got pissed at me for stating the obvious. We have 3 solid defense players on each level in Day, Jaylon, and Russell but outside of those players we don't have a lot and especially at rush end and DB/Safety. I said the loss of Crawford would be huge when he got hurt before the season started and it has because he was a solid freshman coming into the program, either starter or nickle with great skills.
The one thing I like though is that we landed a couple DB recruits the last 2 weeks so that will help out a lot but these still aren't the top 100 kids so hopefully they can learn and become great. If we can get just 2-3 more top 100 kids, very unlikely but this win helps, our program will keep improving.
