Pre Snap Read - #47 Assu

[dc4azcats]

I think some folks might find it interesting that he's ranked Assu but hasn't ranked the UA as yet. For the record, he's ranked 6 of the pac 12 teams thus far. Which begs the question as to who is next? Washington or UA? Here's a tidbit as to what he thinks about Assu's D:

There's no solid portion on defense. The line could be strong, true, but only if Hardison and Hood deliver in starting roles – and only if Graham and new coordinator Keith Patterson find some depth along the interior. The second level is bereft of experience. The secondary loses a trio of all-league selections, including both cornerbacks, and will need an immediate boost from a JUCO transfer to handle the load on the outside. On paper, there's nothing this defense does particularly well; that must be galling to Graham, who despite his history of offensive fireworks remains, deep in his core, a coach with a strong defense-first mindset.

Just barely edging out the military academies on the list.
