I kinda hate to lose Elko. His defenses have been pretty good to almost great. That being said, the for losses we suffered this year were mostly the fault of the defense. Especially LSU and Ole Miss. MSU was about 50-50.
It’s almost like you could count on the defense playing shitty for 1-1.5 quarters, then waking up and playing lights out for most of the rest of the game, or at least much better.
And why Duke? That place is practically a coaching graveyard. With maybe the exception of Spurrier.
