Awesome performance by the d. Wow. Can't say enough about them. They make me proud.

Those two picks by Prosser and Granderson were excellent! Prosser shrugging that utag off like he was a little kid on his way to the endzone made me shriek with joy. Both are incredible athletes. The safety made me shriek with joy.

Cain played well.

Gafford really is a solid corner, Hall, too.

Wingard is all over the place and doing well, but FFS wrap up! Tackle lower! He misses 2-3 tackles each game because he won't stick his arms out while tackling and aim lower.

Cashh, Wilson and Ortiz are good backers. Cassh and Logan are going to be absolute monsters at the end of the day when it's all said and done (to borrow a phrase from coach Edwards).

Got to give Epps a s/o, too. Very solid, consistent player and sure tackler

The defense has been a very consistent unit this year and I think they will only get better

Biggest problem with our defense is they are getting too good. They are on the field way too much. That leads to experience. They can "mostly" shut the run game down.

I like them out there though. Good things happen when our Defense is on the field. Too many more backs start catching balls, they may end up on offense!

Scotty was a damn good hire! I love watching this. Just wish they were off the field a bit more.

Couple questions:
1. Did I see correctly Granderson is #1 in the country in Sacks?
2. Did I hear correctly that saturdays game was the first time in UW history two defensive lineman have had INT in a game?
3. Does Grandersons safety count as a sack as well or do you get either a sack or a safety?

EDIT:

1. He's #1 in the MWC. Not NCAA

I do believe you are credited with a sack. If it's the qb of course
