I was just curious about what I asked. I do not have access to the stats
you are using. I am not sure how Tech's schedule this year compares to last year with respect to opponents' offensive prowess (power 5 and top 25 at the time of the game do not necessarily tell the story). It is possible other players have improved on defense. It is possible and, in my opinion, likely Tech would have an even better overall defensive rating this year with Bede than with Murphy. However, I do not know how to prove (or disprove) that. From an individual perspective, what I see makes me think Bede is a better defender than Murphy. However, that does not necessarily translate to overall team defense.
Bede did not come back, and Murphy is on the team. I am pulling for Murphy to play as well as he can. Tech needs him.
