[QUOTE="prifle2, post: 82512, member: 490"] I know our dline isn't great and VT oline isn't great but they were good enough to hold off the vaunted Ohio State Defensive linemen in buckeye stadium with crown noise and all that good enough to put together 4 drives. The easy thing is to say that our line is suspect and can't hold up but defense is a team activity and our Dline just played the VT oline better than the Ohio State. The scheme in the first half made the defense look worse than it was by playing with such a large cushion. I have heard the rationale behind it and I still don't think you have to play 10 -12 yards off to avoid giving up the deep pass. but here's some other points I would point out in agreement with Boomergump about what would say about the defense from watching film: The Paul Davis interception was a horrible throw by brewer on a called TE middle screen but if you look at the play what happened was 1) Green broke through the line and got pressure on brewer even quicker than expected and 2) Gotsis read the play perfectly and was covering the TE so brewer couldn't make a good pass to the TE, but both of our D tackles were all over that play and the result was an over throw that led to Davis taking the ball to the house for a lead changing score... For the game the defense gave up 424 yards of total offense but in the second half once we made a few defensive adjustments, specifically moving the dbs closer to the line taking away the quick pitch and catch. The defense held VT to 139 yards on 32 plays. VT had 7 second half possessions. The GT defense held them to less than 20 yards per possession in the second half. [B]In 7 second half possessions against the VT offense, the GT Defense Forced 3 punts, Intercepted 2 Passes, Blocked a field goal [/B]and forced a fumble that they should have recovered that bounced in the VT's qbs hands and he ran it in for a touchdown. The primary reason VT allowed brewer to throw that pick at the end of the game... GT had held the VT offense to 51 yards rushing in the second half (72 if you count Brewers lucky bounce 21 yard TD fumble run) I think barring injury, our guys can match up with any line out there this side of Clemson. Clemson is just going to flat out have to be on the offense to outscore those tigers but I think this version of defense can match up well with every other offense we play until we face FSU. We still have to grow and our short coming are definitely valid but they have to be kept in context of how they played and where they played. A loud crowd come October 4 can help our defense against Miami.. [/QUOTE]
