Defense
Grade: A+++
When the offense struggled, the defense picked up the baton and ran all the way back to State Collee with it. Add in the constant pressure on a yougn quarterback as well as the defensive touchdowns and you have a complete performance. I have been critical of Manny Diaz but he has shown this year he can run a world class defense once again in college football.
