No question that three games into the 2019 season, that this defense is quite a bit better than a year ago. Already we have seen 24 tackles-for-loss and seven sacks, nearly reaching the half way point of last year’s totals of 53 and 15 respectively! Then there’s the turnovers where the defense has made the halfway mark of last season’s eight takeaways. Looks like we’ll be seeing more of the best turnover prop in college football.
There was some concern that the defense could struggle against Cal Poly’s triple option offense since Oregon State won’t see that style of play again all year and in recent history have struggled against the run.
