I don't think you should make much of total raw NCAA stats like Hobart-like anything, you need a modifier| Strength of opponent schedule

Case in point-St Norbert #3 defense in the country
Lost to Stevens Point 24-3 | Held Stevens Point to 257 yds
Gustavus held UWSP to 203 yds
Gustavus is ranked #97 in defense
Gustavus played much tougher competition than St Norbert throughout-
Another perhaps more relevant comparison
Hobart "held" RPI to 357 yds
UW Lax held RPI to 252
UW Lax is ranked #106 in total defense
Those are the facts
Susquehanna has no doubt a very good offense, for sure and we will find out vs SJU how good

BTW SJU ranked #29 with opponents such as Wartburg|UWL|Bethel X2

Ok all.  It has been a long long long long time since I posted on this board, but I felt compelled for 2 reasons all related to the discussion today:
1.  I was at that horrible UWL-SJU game in '96 where SJU imploded in late 3rd/4th.  It was cold, sideways rain/sleet mix and I think the field was literally freezing as the game progressed
2.  I met Tom Engwall earlier this year with Brandon Novak and other guys from SJU teams in early 2000s-great guy, and yes, a Big 12 javelin champ at UT.
