If you look at some of our defensive transfers over the past 3 years, we’ve lost a starting LB to USC, a #1 corner to Washington/Oregon and a #2 CB to Colorado (McKinney). Those 3 would definitely be helpful.
Looking past that, we must make a change at defensive coordinator. Not only are we atrocious at stopping the run, we could be worse at giving up WIDE OPEN big pass plays. I don’t know where we could find stats, but we have to be bottom 5 in all of college football at giving up explosive plays since Nardo has been here. To me that screams poor coaching and/or poor scheme. When you have those factors and lose starters in the portal, your defense is really hamstrung.
