Mailbag: Week Two

With Jon Greenard out, where does the defense look to fill that gap? Is the defense too reliant on one star as with last year, or are they in a better position absorb the loss and redistribute personnel?

I don’t think that Louisville was in as bad a spot without Jaire Alexander as it seemed to be. He was an extremely talented player, but he also only mans one spot at the third level of the defense. I know that the defense seemed to play much better when he was on the field, but they also played the worst offenses on their schedule when he played (Remember Syracuse didn’t have Eric Dungey).
