Defense Wins Football Games

[Tex Long 4663]

Over the last ten years, the standout teams are Bama, Georgia, and Clemson.

Only Clemson was led by an Offense-centric coach. But Dabo had Venables running  his D and stealing signs.

Can PK become Venablesque? If not, Sark is going to be Mack 2.0. Not that it's horrible, but like Mack, only a super QB will take him - and us - to the mountain top. Maybe we've got Superman... maybe not. PM Lincoln Riley and ask him how well that works without a D... granted, PK>>>Grinch, but 2022 Bama and 2023 OU say Hi.

Yes, ideally your team has both O and D, but it looks like great D with at least middling O is better than great O with at least middling D.

Those teams' defenses were dominant because of hoarding talent.  Not because of some big defensive coaching advantage.
