It’s 2025. Your OC and DC aren’t doing much recruiting unless the kids come to campus.
Someone please tell me why I should believe that Butler will be a good DC

Mind bottling someone could defend our offense that has cost us 3 games.
It’s the truth, whether you want to believe it or not.

We’d be 9-1 at worst with just Ty.

I know our schedule hasn’t been difficult, but #13 in total defense is solid

Also get him some DTs that can actually hold up the interior and run defense looks a lot different.
Not sure why the negativity around Butler? If we even had an average interior defenseive line, this unit would be one of the top defenses in the country. Even with the clear weaknesses at certain position groups, they have kept us in every game this year. They are super young too. Add some key pieces at certain positions in the portal and we’ll becooking in 2026.

I did see more disruption caused by the young bucks Van Poppel, Nwaneri and Davis last night up front than I can remember in any B10 game this year. That being said, when we flushed the QB out of the pocket, he did burn us a couple of times. The penetration and stopping of the RB run game was encouraging.

Our pass defense is so good because we have 8 guys in coverage and Butler has given up the rush defense to go all in on stopping the pass. It’s not rocket science

It is true. Simple numbers/bad tackling /bad angles

Butler has made a conscious decision to eliminate the other team's passing game as the top priority (like you see in the NFL) and that will always leave room for the QB to run. It's working pretty well so far. I don't believe the QB run has been primarily responsible for any of our 3 losses. It may be annoying to see it, especially with a guy as talented as Nico, but I'd rather win than take away the QB running game. I think Butler is doing a very good job this year.

Yes, it is true. We've played a lot of snaps with two high, even three high. We have been outnumbered up front on most snaps.

What about the Michigan game? Was that the QB that ran all over us at will? Remind me

OL immediately on LBs. That would also explain some of the LB play. It seems like a lot of our fans and experts don’t know anything about basic football.
