Wait... are you griping about this defense scheme and our personnel? Need I remind you of our previous D coordinator?
we can complain about last yrs DEF (for good reason) but oddly it had the Def BEST AVG yds per game in 8 yrs.So its not like we are starting from 130th in US.So for those that think we are going to magically control games with an aggressive DEF,think again.It will be different but maybe not better.
The first time you see a runner split the Def up middle for 40 yds when 2 LBs go to wrong hole , think about that.
Yards per game also masks average starting field position of the opposing offense. Special teams and turn overs can cause the opposing offense to need less yards per drive to convert points. I believe FEI includes total percent of available yards per drive in their metric (and SP will do total percent of available yards per play).It is not hard to understand...
Fewer possessions hides some defense issues and hides some offense positives. Last year we were 69th at 28.2 points per game against. This gets even worse if you look at pure points per possession.
Fewer possessions also means few yards available. Example: would you rather have 17 tries to make yards and TDs or 12. Which do you think would yield more yards and more TDs?
In point against common ACC opponents per possession, I showed only UNC was worse than GT (and UNC was really bad).
GT was good on third down last year and was 11th in the nation on 3rd down defense. I saw this and it felt good! But the issues was GT only had 20% of 1st down conversions on 3rd down. OUCH!
It is hard for me be believe we will go backwards...
