Though the defense improved across the board, it still has a long way to go. The defense needs a talent infusion badly, which hopefully happens. Coach Brown is the man for the job, he just needs the horses.
I believe that the majority of the improvement is a result of the offense staying on the field longer, as evident by the time of possession rankings.
The arrow is pointing up and I am excited to see what year 2 looks like with HCSS and DCBB.
