We’ve seen a number of posts which suggest the relative weakness of this Cardinal defense is its defensive backs.
Here are the Pac-12 stats for yards allowed per opponents' run attempts, with sacks removed from those calculations:
Wash 4.33
Cal 4.58
Utah 4.63
USC 4.75
ASU 4.76
Stan 5.10
UCLA 5.39
Ariz 5.42
OSU 5.69
WSU 6.27
Colo 6.29
Ore 6.72
And the yards allowed per pass numbers:
UCLA 5.7
Utah 6.7
Stan 6.8
Oreg 6.8
WSU 7.0
USC 7.4
Cal 7.6
Colo 7.8
Wash 7.8
Ariz 8.1
ASU 8.7
OSU 8.8
And for Pass Defense Efficiency:
Utah 112.5
UCLA 116.4
Stan 124.4
USC 128.8
Wash 129.1
WSU 133.9
Cal 139.4
Colo 139.9
Oreg 140.7
ASU 154.0
Ariz 157.8
OSU 164.3
For third down conversions allowed:

USC 38.7
ASU 39.2
UCLA 41.3
Cal 41.7
WSU 42.9
Ore 44.7
Colo 46.8
OSU 50,0

Assuming we have a defensive weakness other than the pass rush, isn't it at defending the run?
