    WVU was ranked 106th in total defense last year.


    Tennessee was 81st.

    I was referring as to what we have on defense personal wise. I don't know what the strength of the D would be. It's hard to imagine it would be the secondary but I wouldn't say it's LB or DL either.

    Not impressed.

    Vols by 7 against WV IMO

    I'm excited to see the LBs with actual coaching. There's talent there. I also think Taylor is going to be a good edge rusher

    Here I am being all disconnected to keep any stray excitement in check, and here you come talking about defense & linebacker play.

    Don't do that to me, brother.

    Wow, eye-opening.

    Anyone know the size of their linemen?

    Sherrer is a great LB coach and Kirkland, Bituli and Sapp were all highly rated recruits coming out of high school.... Kirkland and Bituli have both performed at extremely high levels when healthy

    Okay, was hoping they might be undersized

    There was drastic weight gain when Grier enrolled there, though

    Defensive front seven is Lilliputian.

    WVU: No Butch Jones
