Message: [QUOTE="dasher, post: 1976183, member: 6061"] It will be news to Shafer that he had a defense in that game today. What adjustments did he make as the game went on. Scott Shafer is a very good d-coordinator. There really is no debating that. And the farce that we watched this year on defense is not something one can defend with any credibility. Guys running free all over the field. The numbers speak for themselves. We were horrible this year before this game . No amount of spin can change that. We will never know what Shafer would have done with that Pitt defense because he didn't coach Pitt today. We need better players, for sure. We also need a scheme that actually works. Let's put it this way, if Ward was replaced before the season with any d coordinator in d-1, would we have been worse off for it? [/QUOTE]
