We'll say the defense is known as that.

The offense has pathways for gains.

Safe to say with the defensive side of the ball we'll stay elite yearly. This is about the fourth or fifth straight year of pretty dominating play and sending guys to the league regularly(or at least getting looks). On top of that you have upperclassmen who've been through it teaching the incoming guys the ropes. The defensive culture is solidly in place at this point. Offense will come around I believe. Just trying to find an identity it seems and that sweet spot in the play calling.
