Are we better on defense than we were last year?

Look, I'm not claiming we're horrible or anything but we just gave up 31 including a go ahead long ball with 10 seconds remaining to a freshman QB that couldn't get out his own way a week earlier. Every team that we've played aside from Ohio has led us by double digits at some point. Seems we spend the 1st half of every game figuring out what our opponents are doing to us to make (admittedly effective) adjustments at halftime. We got abused for a half of football by a guy that couldn't win at Purdue. Maybe my expectations were just too high but I really thought we'd dominate some teams - especially lesser opponents - from start to finish. That hasn't really been the case. Happy to be 5-0, but I'm still waiting to see Shoop dominate an opponent for 4 quarters.
