[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 244916, member: 617"] That was the biggest question I have for the D. I mean, sometimes doing the same thing over and over is effective because it seems strategically unlikely. For example, game theorists play rock-paper-scissors with programs and 'only throw rock' strategies periodically do shockingly well. But going back and watching the TV, it seems like the D's eyes were locked like lasers and the possibility of the screen was never going to be found. Am I right about that? Is that a thing we can teach to overcome? To the people complaining about Roof not being aggressive enough, a question: Why would we want a bunch of 3 and outs? I mean, yay GT and all, but beating Vandy by 222 doesn't count as 2 W's. And I love a GT death march, but giving the offense 2 mins of rest consistently gives them a lot more bruises to get over for the next week. Now obviously this isn't always true. Sometimes the O isn't producing and you need to create opportunities to score again. I don't think you can look at Roof's tenure and say his D is schematically unable to deliver that. In fact, it seems like when his scheme really clicks it delivers that spectacularly, often with Picks. (Capitalization intended) It just seems like a more aggressive, high risk high reward default stance on defense would be a net negative with the offense we play. [/QUOTE]
