in your opinion--- is our defense better than last years?

I never would have figured that Danny Verpaele getting suspended might be a blessing in disguise.

Where did you here Clebert is out? 

there was a thread about it and it was mentioned in one of the blogs I believe

I thought he was "questionable" ... we'll know soon enoough.

this was much earlier- perhaps last week-- so things might have changed.

If I were him-- I would want to play too. If we can along without him though, I would prefer to rest him and have him 100% versus WVU. We will need him against that running attack big time.

I do expect to see a lot more of McClain inside.

So far our D is better than last year.  We are more polished and disciplined.  Our players are all running to the ball each play.  Our backs are definitely better (corners/safety).  Also, our D line is much improved.  I say on a scale of 1-10:  Bulls are 8.5 so far this year and were 8.25 at this time last year.  We will certainly see 9.5 - 9.75 play this season from our D.  They/we will be ranked top 20 D in country for sure!
