Would that be the same scheme that allowed Wisconsin to put up 70 on us just a few years later?

 

Same scheme.  Different personnel.  The 4-3 seems to work better with Suh/Crick up front than with Meredith/Rome.  Then again, I imagine most any defense would work better with Suh and Crick.

Defense is the most fun side of football to watch and anyone who doesn't agree is a bad person.

Good defense. Good defense is fun to watch. 

 

I think back to the 2009 Big 12 Championship, or even the 2009 season, and wonder what would have happened if we had even a decent offense. I remember watching games with friends, and we dreaded when the offense was on the field. We always joked Watson was keeping things vanilla to unleash all the good plays at the end of the year. Then they scored 33 or whatever it was against Arizona. Good times

I got to the point where I wanted the offense off the field so we had a chance to score some points, by the defense.

In 2009 with Ganz we are NC's running away......Amazing how one missing piece could've made all the difference in the world....That 2009 D was stout front to back.

I would love to have that scheme back as well..

Is that the same scheme bo ran as he lost all Callahan’s talent and began giving up some of the worst defensive performances that still stand today.....hey wait, I think Melvin Gordon just scored again

[macroboy]

Yeah, Melvin Gordon just ran untouched across my lawn.

During that Texas game I looked at my buddy and said 'it makes me nervous when we have the ball.'

He said 'yeah. I'm worried Texas will score.'

Kind of a weird testament to how good that D was.

Still lost less games with that scheme then we are now. Just saying.
