[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 964751, member: 282"] I hear you on the defense. The end of last year was a bright spot, relatively speaking. It’s been bad since about 2008–longer than some people have watched the team. I agree and don’t agree about talent levels. I agree that we can and should be able to have a no-name defense. But having two or more players that are game-changers happens throughout FBS and in the ACC. Pitt, Duke, and BC regularly have more players in the ACC first and second teams than we do. As far as the pass rush, how much is scheme and how much is that a fair group of the 11 on the field can’t shed blocks? Let’s wait until the season is over, friend. It’s fair to pick on the defense. An average defense holds BG under 20 despite the punt snafu and the pick 6. It’s fair to pick on the offense and special teams, too. Until yesterday, BG had one of the worst defenses in FBS. Worse than us (again, until yesterday). That punt was an awful play on its own, and a symbol of a team that was not at all prepared to play yesterday. If it was isolated, and the rest of the game was well-executed, then that’s another story. But, it wasn’t an outlier in a game that was played poorly. It was absolutely a team loss. But, if you’re going to pick a weakest unit, you’re going to have to choose between defense and special teams. After yesterday, even with the punt snap snafu, defense staked a claim as the worst unit on the team. I’ve brought up Saban’s loss to Louisiana Monroe, and so have other people. There are other ugly losses that good and great coaches have had. There are also ugly losses that bad coaches have had. Some of the difference might be how the better coaches reacted to that loss. Saban did say “Don’t waste a failure” multiple times during his tenure. Key has an opportunity this week to fix things. He needs to be smart, decisive, and probably harsh. On the other side of things, Tommy Tuberville would blame someone else and fire them. It bought him time, but never fixed anything. I want Key to be like Saban and not like Tuberville [/QUOTE]
