Take two: Top Pac-12 scoring defense in 2017

Washington led the Pac-12 in scoring defense last season. Which defense will grab the top spot in 2017? We discuss.

Jennings (@ChantelJennings): Washington

The best scoring defense is not always the best defense. And I'm not saying that Washington isn't going to be the best defense in the Pac-12 next season. The Huskies will certainly be in the running for that title again. But, let's not kid ourselves, Washington also has the added benefit of a softer schedule against some offenses that probably aren't going to be incredibly high scoring in 2017. And, on top of that, the Huskies return more defensive talent and depth than almost any other Pac-12 team.
