Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 4468030, member: 229"] The only real defensive metric that matters is scoring defense and they were 37th in the Nation in scoring Defense at 22.67 ppg. The D is good enough for 9 or even 10 wins. (and this is with most of the 1 and 2 deep not finishing the season.) They only had 3 games over 30 points. You can drill down things like run D and 3rd down D and all that stuff but the objective is to keep the other team out of the endzone. Offensively we were 68th scoring at 28ppg but we had a 2 game stretch were we scored 9 and 3 points. The Offense is more broken than the run D. We need to add some beef inside but imo, it's more about rotating and keeping guys fresh. We didn't have any bodies left to do that. [/QUOTE]
