First thing was that the defense won in a blowout so big, it made history. The largest margin of winning came by 20 points. The score this year was 78-24 defense. That was mainly due to the offense having some struggles such as Terrelle Pryor having trouble finding consistent rhythm. Jaamal Berry proved he's a threat in the mix for that 3rd slot behind Zoom and Boom, when he made defenders look silly. He is getting more and more playing time due to injuries, such as Saine, Hall and Hyde. Berry himself seemed shaken up a bit at the end of the game, but it didn't look too bad. On the receiving plays, Posey and Sanzenbacher are looking like the core to beat this fall, and defense's are going to have trouble keeping up with them.
On the defensive side of things, John Simon is wreaking havoc against the offensive line and he is looking to make his mark this season. The defense also provided the only touchdown of the day, which came on a Pryor fumble. Devon Torrence is blitzing some, and like in the USC game, got a sack. I would love to see more of these plays, because catching the offense off-guard can really upset the QB (aka Miami).
