[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 39122, member: 322"] There are others who know a lot more than I do. Some on this board work for companies which generate sports data. I have to go on travel but here is the site that I know of which has 4th quarter data. What you can see here is that we give up more rushing yards in the fourth quarter than the second or third.... for 2013. But the worst qtr was the first. That could be a sign of good coaching that we got better after the first hit and then got tired. That is what I "feel" from memory of the games, but my memory during the games was impaired. [url]http://www.cfbstats.com/2013/team/255/rushing/defense/situational.html[/url] At the top of the screen you'll see years. We did pretty well on rush D in the fourth quarter in 2008. Most years the rush D didn't get that much worse in the 4th. Our passing D in the 4th qtr was the best of the game last year at least as far as QB rating. [url]http://www.cfbstats.com/2013/team/255/passing/defense/situational.html[/url] But this really doesn't answer your question. I have the following thoughts: 1) The other team wants to win and generally pulls out the stops in the 4th qtr, just like we would like to do. 2) 2009 was the best year by far we had in the fourth quarter. We won most of the close ones. We have argued forever about why. I think it was JN and the team chemistry. Give me a team full of JNs and we win a NC. They would savage their way to a win. 3) Last year was Roof's first year for the D. We were much better than previous years and good in the fourth. It really doesn't matter much to me about the previous year's since Groh is fortunately no longer a factor. 4) Last year I didn't see us getting tired like we were in previous years. I credit that to the S&C coach and Roof. The stats you talk about may show I am wrong. 5) I hear you about playing all out on D. You either stop the other team or they score quick. That was the essence of Tenuta's D. I think that best matches up with our O these days -- ball and clock control. We just have to score more often and for the first time last year, the O was weaker than D or ST. So if the O comes back, a Tenuta approach probably makes sense. [/QUOTE]
