Ehhh... that defense looks okay right now, but it's because of the offense. They're just facing fewer plays this year. Remember how bad they were last year? Check out these stats:
They're allowing the same number of yards-per-play as last year: 6.1.
They don't have a good pass rush, with 6 sacks on the year. Considerably worse than last year, when they finished with 34.
They're on pace for 1 more turnover than last year, with a team turnover ration of -1(granted, quite a bit better than us).
Their opposing team's 3rd down conversion percentage(42%)is the same as our opponent's, and only slightly lower than theirs last year(43%).
Sorry, not impressed. Although I would say Marinelli is doing a solid job considering the kind of talent they have.
