Mostly true. I do think this team has the potential to be a lot

I think they will need to be much more effective on offense

provofan

Nice to be 6-0 without playing as well as we can. Hopefully we can put it all

Just re-read, and I think you meant the Glaskar INT, which makes sense, but

I agree, the defense is awesome and causes turnovers. It is awesome to see!!

We have a defensive scheme that applies pressure and has playmakers.
