[QUOTE="Longestday, post: 440043, member: 402"] No one would argue that 2017 offense was a great offense, but here are some FEI ranks for offense and defense by years by years to add data. Year Off/Def rank 2017 23/63 2016 21/94 2015 87/87 2014 2/76 2013 38/51 2012 26/64 2011 16/61 2010 41/80 2009 2/51 2008 18/30 2007 34/69 The data shows this offense can work depending on the players available and how seasoned. The issue with the offense is not the scheme, although it does have some weaknesses like all offenses. 2017 had the loss of a starting BBack and a new first year QB with little time at the QB position. It is amazing that we had a 23rd rank offense given these two facts. Duke has had better FEI ranked defenses for the last 4 years and last year was their best defense ranked at number 34. Roof was able to get to 51st rank in his first year but could not break the top 50. Roof had a defense on a whole that had trouble getting off the field and kept a depthless team tired by the end of the game. He did improve in 2017 and it felt like the defense improved too, but to only 63rd rank. Special teams ranking at 125 was the death nail on what could have been a decent season as the offense and defense combination was better ranked than 2016. CPJ has been iffy on special teams, I lay defense at the ADs feet, but CPJ's offense is not the problem. 10 to 7 can be a winning score. If you want to hammer CPJ, hammer him on special teams. Also defense is now on CPJ with this last hire. [/QUOTE]
