Message: [QUOTE="Cuse99&01, post: 5236097, member: 8627"] Agree with the comment related to lack of defensive philosophy. There are some very obvious defensive concerns with individual players on this team- whether that be ability/skill, desire/want to play defense, or a combination of the two. That aside through the first two games there doesn't appear to be an obvious style of M2M defense being played. It has looked like a pick up game with guys only concerned about 'trying' to guard their man. Good defensive teams have a philosophy/scheme they try to implement. Whether that be a lot of ball pressure/denial (WVU under Huggins), pack line defense (Virginia), emphasizing gap coverage (Michigan State)...solid schemes/plans are just as important as the abilities of the individual defender.
