Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 2773716, member: 2265"] To review where the D is nationally (ACC): Total D 96 (10) Scoring D 70 (8) Passing D 107 (11) Rushing D 70 (8) Opp 3rd down conv 4 (2) Opp long scrim 85 (13) Opp Red Z TD% 53 (4) Turnover Margin 4 (1) Needless to say, we can do much better. The TOs have made a huge difference. Our worst unit has been primarily responsible for this great stat. We are great on 3rd down and not bad on red zone TDs but we get gashed far too often. Are these stats a result of scheme or inexperience and recruiting needs? Why are we so good at 3rd down? Dome noise? Our point margin is 44 - 28 = 16 points. Is just out score opponents the plan and who really cares if the D is any better ? I must admit if this works I can get used to it. We won't ever make CFP without better D but we will win a helluva lot of games. (If I made any mistakes let me know and I will correct.) Go Orange beat the Irish! [/QUOTE]
