Our defense last year was terrible. I don't think it is fair to expect the team to play lock down defense in their first game of the season. NF came into the game as a team that lives and dies by the 3, so our game plan, rightfully, was to stop the three. We pretty much did. To do that, we could not play help defense in the post, and our freshman and medical red shirt players got pushed around a little bit. I took away a lot more positives than negatives. We played much better defense than last year, and I expect the defense to continue improve.
