While I agree with the premise Taosman that they were team losses, the 2002 silver bullets won games for tOSU even with offensive/coaching mistakes and an very innefective offense (at times) We beat scUM last year giving up a ton of points, Florida played them like a fiddle (although at the very least the defensive coaches were duplicitous in the crime) They could not get the Illini offense off the field for the last 8-9 minutes to give the O another shot, and LSU put up a ton of points on them (not from field goals after the D stopped them in the red-zone either)
The 2007 defense was a good one, but I'm with Mili/Mesa or whoever he is today, in that it did not qualify as sick/filthy/dominating IMHO
