[QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 795921, member: 78"]
people like to look at who plays in the national championship and say "AHA they're good at both offense and defense" as a justification for us going defense first. No sht, that's why they're in the national championship.  It's putting the cart before the horse in the biggest way possible.   If the stars align with both great offense and defense, great.

With all the money/fanbase/blah blah problems out of anyone's control, the easier path to being competitive is to pluck the low hanging fruit on offense.  there are meatheads all over the northeast, we're not going to outhardnose bc, pitt, penn state.  We have the dome, they don't.  The whole point of having climate control is so that we can play like the teams that have good climate.

There are lots of non-factory schools that are good on offense almost all the time.  Where are these non-factory schools that are good on defense almost all the time?  The meathead crowd will cling to whatever piddly school happens to have a good defense for a couple years.

Hopefully Shafer's background as a QB can save him from going too far down a BCesque path.  I don't blame them for anything they're doing on offense this year, can't air it out with Hunt.  I'm more taking issue with dinosaurs in the fan base
