Defense
Grade: D+
This defense did extremely well holding its own in the first half, just like it did against Michigan. The collapse and effort in the fourth quarter was inexcusable. The [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag] coaching style has this defense looking to make big hits and force turnovers on every play, it’s the equivalent of trying to hit a home run every at-bat. They need to take what is given to them and they aren’t, they are a very talented group but again this coaching staff is letting them down.
