Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 5198470, member: 393"] Yup. "Complementary" football - the staff understands that the D is not good. The O has proven that they can sustain long drives, move the ball via the passing game, control the TOP, and score enough to beat most teams that are not above average on O. There is no doubt, IMO, that controlling the clock is not only a "purposeful strategy" but a major part of the overall game plan. That strategy also dictates how we play on D. Bend don't break, drop into coverage, "force" teams to sustain long drives to score. Without a really good QB, most college teams struggle to sustain drives consistently and that is amplified when you limit the number of possessions. This overall game plan leverages the advantage we have with McCord. He is the difference maker. [/QUOTE]
