I know a lot of people are probably going to rebel at this thought, but our pass defense is holding P5 teams 92 passing yards below their per game average, along with taking away more than 71 rushing yards as well. Generating turnovers continues to appear to be an area to watch, but with at least 1 TO in each of the last 4 games, maybe not so much.
