TexArcher Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 But in Scoring Defense, you're 40th in the nation and 5th in the Conference (NU is 7th and 1st respectively in Scoring Defense) No doubt Muschamp is a great D-Coord but in 2010 so far, your defense is struggling. That's why I have a hard time with him being ranked so high. You have to take into account that 7 points, i.e. 1.4 per game, were on a pick-six, and also several opponents' drives started in our own red zone (I think it's 5?) and a bunch more on our half of the 50 after turnovers. Our D has only struggled in two halves -- the first half against OU (tip of the cap to their gameplan, but we adjusted at the half very well) and the second half against UCLA (when the D was exhausted from being on the field almost non-stop). Granted, we should have played better in both of those halves, but I wouldn't say our defense is struggling. It would help if our idiot OC would ever let Gilbert throw past the marker on third down so we could keep a drive going once in a while and let the D get a breather. You have to remember how hideous we were on defense in '06 and '07 to appreciate what Muschamp has done. Quote Link to comment

There's no doubt Muschamp has greatly improved your defense. It's extremely similar to our situation when Kevin Cosgrove was our D-Coord during Crap-a-han's tenure then and Bo/Carl's tenure now. It's like night and day. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The TCU DC must be one tough SOB with all the fights he had as a kid over his name. 1 Quote Link to comment

Danimal Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Steele left bama for Clemson because he wanted to run his own D but now his successor smart is getting full credit for bama's D? Meanwhile Carl gets no credit from rivals? Doesn't make much sense. But Tenn tried to hire Carl away so somebody must think he knows his stuff. Quote Link to comment
blackshirts5115 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 ALL OF THIS ARGUING IS ABOUT NOTHING. CARL DOESN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE BO RUNS THE DEFENSE! Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Then who is that older Pelini making the calls on the sideline? Quote Link to comment
