Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 1977402, member: 19"] There's definitely something to it. Joining us at the bottom of the D rankings are Cal & Texas Tech. Oregon is down there too, but that's not typical for them. We won't have top 50 defenses with this offense. Just isn't going to happen. But we're playing a bunch of freshmen out there. As the depth builds, and the players' measurables (settle down everyone) are what we'd like for this defense, it will be better. We gave up 500 yards per game. Just drop that to 450 (which is regular bad), and I'd bet we outscore more teams than we don't. College football is so much more about offense these days, more imaginative minds who take more chances. I also think the rules support it (for example, pass interference). Only 7 teams averaged giving up less than 300 yards. I have to think that was higher back in the day. [/QUOTE]
