[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 259301, member: 944"] After reflection on yesterday's game, I have no issue with our offense. Duke played a gimmicky defense designed to attack us in certain ways to disrupt our normal offense. It left open certain things. It left open the passing game big time, and we were able to take advantage of that. It also left open our skill players in space against their LB's and DB's IF we could find a way to get into position, and we did with JT. They took everything else away and made JT beat us. Other teams haven't done that, but Duke may have thought JT had lost a step with his hamstring problems, or that he had lost confidence with a year and a half of getting drubbed by defenses, so they bet the house of stopping other aspects of our offense and making JT beat them and ....he did!! I do worry though about our ability to play that way every week. I think defenses more and more are using those "gimmicky" approaches to force our offense out of its comfort zone. We made Duke pay, but can we do that every week? We need much better defensive play to compete the rest of the way...our offense can win games, but not if they HAVE to be a top 10 offense every single game. [/QUOTE]
