re: Defensive adjustment

Guys, I am not just talking Alabama, here. I mean defenses in general. Erybody gettin’ burned to death by the offenses right now. Clemson’s seasoned d, with what some consider a GOAT coordinator, was a mercy knee away from giving up 49 to LSU. LSU’s series before that was more junk period run off the clock stuff, and LSU missed a field goal to boot. This could have been worse.

Men! We’ve got to do something to save our phoney-baloney jobs!

Clemson is always going to be very tough to put a measuring stick on before the playoff. Coming out of the ACC with all that talent can make anyone look like fools gold.

And now for the saddest truth of them all, there is no easy defensive fix short of doing away with the constant running clock. At that point, defenses can get on the field after each snap and can now match up with offensive personnel and play to down and distance. I have a sneaky feeling though that the NCAA is in love with watching all these scoreboard explosions.

Any talented QB can throw the ball for 5 to 10 yards in these spread concepts and score in bushels. And that's about all it takes to be called the greatest these days. Ask Tom Brady?

Only so much you can do when the rules are clearly favoring the offenses. Pretty much what has been said. Injury luck and keeping guys from making the jump to the NFL. In other words, not much.
