Thats the difference between the Top recruits and the not top recruits ...The current guy is in his second year but Quinn was hired because of the defense he built in Seattle. So, considering his history, he should be taking steps to fix this issue. He is the head coach and was hired because of his defense.
It is so similar to Kentucky. Stoops was hired based on the defense he built with Florida State but the defense in his six years at KY has been horrible. Yes, this season the scoring defense has improved but against the good teams, it has been horrific again. Stoops has even taken over the defense from time to time and it is still bad.
On Sunday it is like watching KY play with their defense and vice versa with the Falcons on Saturday.
(Unless your Ohio State this year ... they get the Top recruits and this year can't do anything)
