Agree it's a must win, for them.  Not sure he stated any reason why the defense won't be better, he is probably wrong on that.  His comments about the loss of QB stats with Pindell and who are up for replacement are spot on, problem is he didn't see UConn play and how important a QB who can actually pass was missed last year.  Defenses only had to cover 10 yards down field and less than 3 seconds on pass plays; how did Mensah rush so well with that passing game is quite an accomplishment.  Freshmen will not help much but transfers will; year olderness of lot of returning players will factor in also.

Beating them would be an upset, but not that big of one.  Their next to last game last year was a 63-0 loss to Iowa!  They had 3 games last year where they gave up 63 points.

Massey has them as less than 2 touchdown favorite (as example Indiana is a 27 point favorite the next week).  A bit of a passing game, some 3rd down stops and a turnover or 2 and who knows.
