[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 351621, member: 265"] I went over there and I want our Miami visitor to get disabused of one notion that I saw a lot over on their website. "We have to play disciplined football to win!" Discipline has [I]nothing[/I], repeat [I]nothing[/I], to do with beating Tech. The reason why we usually are in the top 10 teams in the country running the ball and why the academies (and now New Mexico) are too is simple: [I]everything[/I] the D does has an answer and our Coach knows what they are. You can be as disciplined as the Texas Aggie band and it will still involve [I]choices[/I] by your DC about what to stop. So far this year, we've faced teams that have decided that they are going to stop the sweep and the pitch on the option. That's why Marshall and Benson are 1 and 4 among ACC RBs in total yardage: when you clog the lanes outside, you open lanes inside. Further, when you try a particular scheme to cut off a play, [I]we don't change the play[/I]. I repeat, [I]we don't change the play[/I]. We change the [I]blocking scheme[/I] for the play. As Coach always says, we don't beat people by changing plays; we don't run more then 12 - 15 all season. What we change is how the play is blocked. So - and I understand this - if it makes the fans feel better to think that "discipline" will allow the O to be stopped, go with it. But don't be fooled. What stops our O is either a) better players (Clemson in 2016) or b) turnovers. I think we can rule out better talent; da U isn't [I]that[/I] much more talented. So to win what you guys will have to do is win the turnover battle. If the Football Gods are with you - like they were last year - we have a problem. If not, expect a prize fight going into the 4th and a very close game, no matter who wins. [/QUOTE]
