I have seen a few of the NCG previews noting the "questionable" OSU defensive backfield as a key to the game. Here is one example..

While the 2013 squad was more than questionable, I have seen such a drastic improvement in the 2014 crew. It would appear we have made a trade off as our run stopping production has gone down, but all-in-all the defense is better and the passing side is much better.

So is this is a carry over from last year's defense? Is this akin to "The SEC is good and everyone else is bad?" What is your opinion as to why they would call our defensive backfield "questionable?"
