OP It is half-time in the Apple Cup -- the annual football game between the Fighting Cougars of Washington State University and the lowly Dawgs of the University of Washington. The Cougars lead 13-7.
Commenting on one broken-up play, the sportscaster said that the linebacker did as good a job "defensing" the play as one is likely ever to see. Really.
I understand the relationship between defend and defender and defense but I musta missed the connection which impels one toward "defensing."
TEd will likely suggest that defensing is de barrier which keeps de people out of de yard.
