Our D was so good in 04 against the run, this year the best was 3.4. What happened? Was it pierce? Can it be fixed? Will carter help? I want that fixed. It was a problem for us last year. Total against the run went from 2 to 13. We are ranked 14th by ESPN and that is holding us back and it will hold us back against tiki and others. Luckily i don't think we play that many good running backs. Ofcourse that doesn't matter because we are going against GOD at the near end of the season.

not quite sure what all that meant what happened was warrick holdman. washington-marshall-pierce was WAY better than washington-marshall-holdman. Clark also got pushed out of the way on some runs as well. Archuleta shouldn't let that happen, but we will have a rookie at ROLB this year, so whether that gap in run D gets fixed is still a question... mcintosh is good at making negative yardage plays though.
