Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 365952, member: 27"] I didn't say passing defense. I said defense. I think a good defense against the run encourages Syracuse to throw the ball more and tends to inflate the number of catches Alec and other receivers might make. If you look at total defense, here are the rankings: Minnesota 2012 21st USF 2011 39th UConn 2011 51st Pittsburgh 2010 8th UConn 2009 62nd UConn is a little different. They play press coverage on defense almost exclusively and Alec has been the only guy on the team good at beating it. Alec has been bigger, stronger and faster than the other WRs on the team most of his career, is more physical and is better at getting open than the others. It is no surprise he gets a lot of touches when the rest of the offense has been stopped. He has been the best option in those situations and his career reception totals reflect that. [/QUOTE]
