Defending Michael Young

No, this isn't about having to defend the Pittsburgh Panthers (12-1, 1-0) best player. It's about the defensive adjustments teams are starting to send his way.

Life can be difficult when you're the top name on the opposing teams scouting report. While one can argue that Jamal Artis currently occupies that spot, there is no denying that Michael Young is right there with him and perhaps at the top coming out of the non-conference portion of the schedule. I've praised Young to the point where one might wonder if we're related, we aren't. Despite getting the job done in the last three games, there's been a noticeable difference in how teams are defending him.
