Had Ali played his entire career with Mick Cronin, he probably would have fared better.

Army, maybe. There are a handful of games where I remember Ali playing well. That's about it. He had a penchant for making bonehead plays. But yeah, having Alfraud for 3 years as a coach didn't help him.

Ali had outstanding athletic ability, like DTR. Also, like DTR, he exhibited poor decision making ability. Proper coaching might have been able to rein him in a bit. Hopefully, DTR will pick up a little from watching Chase Griffin.

Hard to grade our "improved defense" playing teams like lowly Arizona.

Defense played well against Oregon.

No way the Azz(hole) has suddenly turned the defense around. No way he is solely responsible. Norwood is clearly difference between this year and last. I'm glad BRO called him out with that question. I hope he continues to raise Chip's hackles by bearing down on that train of thought.
