Yea that's what I don't get. Bit if you could entertain my question for a sec, what happened with WVU's defense? I mean did they really lose that much? A nose tackle and a couple of guys in the secondary but the defensive coordinator and the schemes are the same right?
It wasn't just the nose guard and a couple of guys in the secondary. Chris Neild and Scooter Berry composed 2/3 of the D-line, and either one outweighs any current player on the D-line. Plus, when you consider that Chris Neild is getting a lot of attention so far in D.C., he's a pretty big loss, since the 3-3-5 stack is built around the NG...
BTW, Julian Miller was the DE on that line, with Bruce Irvin came in for obvious passing situations, and the only LB that returned with any experience was Najee Goode. WVU is currently starting a freshman at MLB. So there are new pieces throughout the defense...
