Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 3165390, member: 5312"] A related issue to your defensive problems may be time of possession. Running teams usually dominate that statistic, whether they win or lose. If your D team is on the field too long chasing someone, they will be winded. When Babers left Bowling Green State U before the bowl game, it was widely assumed by people here that they would still win that game but they were flattened by Ga Southern (?) who when FCS had beaten UF in "the Swamp" without completing a forward pass (!) I read. The related issue is that a spread offense can quickly go 3 and out and leave a D team on the field too long - and yes those two BC runners are in the neighborhood of 250 lbs. [/QUOTE]
