[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 260501, member: 265"] I think there's a correlation here. We are not doing as well on D because the O is not taking as much time to score. As I'm sure everyone has noticed, we are big-playing opponents to death this year, largely because we are passing the ball better. That means fewer death marches - we haven't had one since the Pitt game - and more time on the field for the D. We are still in a "close, but no cigar" mode over there. I was pleased at the Puke game at how often we hurried their QB and we even got 2 sacks. [I]But[/I] … we were so close to a sack so many times in that game that I was one frustrated camper by the end. This has been a recurrent and depressing theme all year; there's nothing much wrong with the schemes, we just don't the horses to pull them off. Result = bad D ratings that could be better if we held the ball on O more effectively. Problem = a) our O rating would probably go down with fewer big plays and b) I wouldn't get to watch us striking the other side with regularity (I love that). [/QUOTE]
