Small defensive line, on the field a lot because offense scores so fast, lots of guys going both ways, football in general much more focused on offense now on all levels. Plus we've played some pretty good offenses lately (Maiden, E Randolph, Hendersonville). Lots of reasons why we've allowed 27 points a game. But I wouldn't call the defense awful. And allowing 27 is fine when you score 50. Just gotta outscore the opponents two more times. And we'll never look back and say "man, that defense sucked!"
