Man Davis came close

IMHO, neither UCD or EWU have a defense. UCD's DBs are slow. Their pass coverages are lacking. If either team had a defense, they win that game easily. It was a track meet.

The SUU game was not about defense, or the lack there of, it was about SLO's lack of a passing attack and inability to sustain a running game.

In our game with SUU, our defense will be able to set the tone early. I'm sure that SUU will throw everything they have at us. SUU hasn't seen a defense like ours.
