[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 365914, member: 1414"] I'm not a Ted Roof fan. I didn't go to GT so I have no residual good will toward him as a player. I'm not fan of playing it safe on defense, especially when you'll never be able to recruit as well as other programs at GT. I'm not a fan of standard, boring schemes. I'm not a fan of giving cushions. I'm not even a fan of slicked back haircuts. [B]All that said, Roof has done exactly what we have asked for, at least this season, and he's done it pretty well.[/B] He has fielded a perfectly competent defense that has been good enough to win games all season long. Even some of the games he's lost (UVa/Miami) he's called pretty good games, and the opposition has simply made plays with more talented guys. GT's defense is absolutely no worse than an above-average defense this year, and were they not CONSTANTLY hamstrung by an abortion of a special teams situation, their numbers would likely look even better. This is not the defense benefiting from playing few possessions. They are doing well using efficiency stats as well: As of posting, ESPN's efficiency stats have them as the 25th best defense in teh country (asjusted for SOS) [URL]http://www.espn.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings/_/sort/defEfficiency/tab/efficiency[/URL] FEI has them at 33, and that's not including the VT game where they ate up the VT offense, holding them to 2.9 yards per rush, and a QB rating of 34.7. Now, he's got a bunch of seniors in the secondary, so I don't know if this is sustainable. That said, it might be. I've said that I don't think Roof can coordinate his way out of a wet paper bag, but he can recruit, and maybe he can recruit his way to a decent defense. It's starting to look like maybe that's the case. Last year he recruited a good looking set of LB's and safeties. This year he's recruited a good looking set of DL. Kerr looks like a keeper. [B]The point is, if this is the new normal for a Ted Roof defense, it's good enough that we should take it and not look a gift horse in the mouth.[/B] [/QUOTE]
