As an outsider, our defense was not any good in '09(infamous 3-8 NDSU season), took some big steps forward in '10. Not impossible for UND to do the same, but we also had a huge 2010 class who has become our best class since the mid 80's. Even in 2010 our D was not stellar, took the big step forward in 2011. Anything can happen. Should be another fun season of football!
