Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1422110, member: 628"] Macro point... Teams with good defenses have the ability to take more chances on O because the D has the ability to bail them out. Some coaches take advantage of that, while others turtle up on O because they don't trust that unit and try to play it safe and grind out wins. SU has tried the latter repeatedly, with mixed results, to say the least. So just because a teams D ranks better than their O doesn't mean a coach puts defense first. He may use it as an opportunity to play faster and looser on O. [/QUOTE]
