At USC in 87' his defense gave up 11.75 points per game. Only 3 teams scored more than 15 points and they were ranked

#2
#2
#7 (LSU)
impressive to say the least




Joe Lee definitely got it done when he had the right players to do it. Unfortunately, I also think he eventually got figured out and that's the biggest reason he flamed out.

There are schools out there running versions of JLD's defense today (State with Arnett is one of them). But they are far more multiple with their looks and disguises than JLD was, and much more strategic with pressure.

Absolutely!!! in a similar vein, Spurriers Fun n Gun offense looks incredibly simple compared to some of whats run today. When he was at USC I think he adapted some, while still being able to put his spin on stuff. That worked well for him and he was able to adapt.
