[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 226260, member: 265"] Doesn't look like they paid much attention to spring, but you can't blame them. What they miss - and they aren't alone - is the interaction between O and D in our scheme of play. Why did the D have trouble last year? Because we weren't holding on to the ball and scoring dang near every drive like we did in 2014. When our O is rolling, the D isn't on the field much and when it is, especially late, the opposition is behind, knows it won't get too many more drives (and, hence, opportunities to score), and starts taking risks. And we have a year like 2014 where the turnover ration was strongly in our favor. And the D looks pretty good. Well, I doubt that'll happen in 2016 - though I do expect good improvement - and ESPN has a positive aversion to any football analysis that is more complex then "This Team Stronger! Will Smash!" Still, I think we'll do better then this prediction. [/QUOTE]
