Will we have the #1 defense in the Nation?

[Adam]

Gave up zero points and only like 112 yards of offense. It was practically a bye week. Will these numbers be enough statistically to get us to #1? I'm excited for the new stat rankings to come out.

That would be impressive!

I'm hoping one of our stat guru's will crunch the numbers.

That stat line might do it. I also like our time of possession today ... almost 41 minutes.

Jon Miller's instant reactions podcast just said lowest yards allowed in B1G play. Wow.

They had 2 big plays at the end of the game too. Probably got 30 yards out of them.

Pure domination. So many individuals made big plays too. That's what's so fun about it.

It was like the varsity playing the jv today.....against a pretty good team.....real impressive

I wouldn't worry about it too much. We had like 60 something yards against Wisconsin last year in the most abysmal offensive showing I might have ever seen by any football team at any level.

Statistically might be better than Mich but they had a great day today too.

I think they are but Wisky gave up half that and wasnt the best.

 

[PantherHawk88]

I liked the point with approx 3 min to go in the third and Maryland had more penalty yards, 41, than total yards 39.

The defense is stellar and it does help that the offense kept the ball for 2/3 of the game so they only had to defend 39 plays. I am sure that was the game plan......

I hope the D shows up like this next week!

What does last year’s offense got to do with this year’s defense?

 

[Adam]

It's an accumulation of games. Not just 1 game. We were already very high in defense ranking. I think there is a chance we will be #1 for at least a week.

 

[bphawkeye]

Who are these plug and play LBs / Corners? Is iowa so deep all of a sudden on D? Love them guys wearing #30s numbers!

LOL! We are talking about defensive domination according to yards gained. Our defensive effort today was good, but hardly the worst ass whooping ever handed out during a Big Ten game. I gave our pathetic effort last year versus Wisconsin as an example of an even better defensive effort yardage wise.

Any more questions?

I mean to be fair you qualified it as an abysmal offensive showing, not a great defensive one.
