I'll play ball here as a mainly former defensive player. It's really hard to blame the defense this year albeit its become a board albatross of sorts. Our offense, post Angeli, directly gave up more points than the scored.

The defense single handedly had us up on UNC at half, the ND game was 21-0 before they touched the field, had us within a TD of Miami going into half until Pickie did his thing, had us in the Pitt game until special teams, and had us in a game with Tenny aside from scoop 6 and a late TD.

Only Duke and SMU burned us in the first half, aside from that our D was good enough every game until our offense made it apparent we were no longer even going to accidentally score points. Did they quit in second halves or simply get worn down mentally and physically? Who knows? Do I disagree with playing a 2 LB system? Sure do. BUT it's hard to play 4 full quarters and have to try and play perfect with a corpse of an offense.

If a coordinator is to go it's Nixon... hard stop. The alone will make ERob better.
