[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 152703, member: 77"] I agree that the D was the downfall in the "middlin" years, but.... The D wasn't exactly head and shoulder's better in '14 yet the team did significantly better. Here's a comparison between the '11 team that went 8-5 with Tevin, whom I've always supported and admired, and the team that just won the OB. ................[B][U]Comparison of Key Stats (rankings) Between the '11D and the '14D[/U][/B] .............................................[U][B]'11 defense[/B][/U]...................[B][U]'14 defense[/U] Scoring D[/B].................................60....................................53 [B]Total D[/B]......................................43....................................81 [B]Int's[/B]............................................31....................................10 [B]Fumbles Forced[/B]......................50....................................11 [B]Opponent 3rd down conversion rate[/B].......................83...................................114 So in summary, the '14 D was much better in forcing turnovers, but that was it. Scoring D was very similar. The '11D was significantly better in both opponent's 3rd down conversion rate and total D. I'd call it a wash. So why was the '14 "team" so much better? Was the '14 offense that much better? I don't think so. I think it was clutch plays. Both sides of the ball were much better in clutch time in '14 than in '11.
