If it comes down to whose defense is better, I don't like our chances.

The UVA vs BYU game I think will be an eye opener to how to be a DC

That game could be ugly

It's gonna be a blowout. BYU will win by three scores. And virginia's defense is...not good. According to advanced

Compare schedules? UVa played 4 ranked P5 teams and BYU played 1 ranked G5...

We played 2 ranked teams last year, not 1. Both on the road.

These rankings adjust for schedule strength. So yes.

Luckily UVa QB isn't a great passer. More dual threat. So that will help.

Considering that our defense is quite a bit better, we'll be fine even in that scenario

Our defense played well enough to win most games last year, but let's not kid

Man, it's too bad our defense has been steam rolled by so many teams with P5 talent in recent years. Like USC,

What are you basing that on? Why are you hyping up their D for no reason?

No hype, just 18 years of experience with Bronco's defenses. You're welcome to
