[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 373881"] In my opinion, the defense only had a couple bad games this year - Duke and the Dwags. The Dwags I can kind of excuse, because they are after all a Top 5 team. And it was tight in the first half. I think they eventually just got worn down when the offense couldn't do anything. In regulation, only 3 teams scored more than 25 points against us this year - Virginia, Duke, and the Dwags. With Virginia, our special teams and offense was so poor, that 6 of Virginia's 8 scores were on drives less than 38 yards. Those 6 drives had an average length of 18 yards! Here is a summary of their scoring drives: * 16 yards (FG) * 38 yards (FG) * 0 yards (TD) (kick return) * 78 yards (TD) * 30 yards (TD) * 28 yards (FG) * 0 yards (Safety) * 64 yards (TD) Virginia was only 4-17 on 3rd down. As you see on this list, they only had 2 sustained drives. They started deep on our side of the field way too many times do to bad kick off coverage, us having to punt from our own end zone, etc. Virginia had 357 yards of offense, which is not great, but also not bad. I mean 6 of the 8 drives were 18 yards on average. To me, special teams (outside of punting) was just horrid. We had like 5 or 6 games where we didn't get a single takeaway. And after the first couple games, we couldn't seem to complete a pass to save our lives. When teams are confident enough to just pack the line of scrimmage against us and we can't make them pay...not good. As much as we all want to just throw up and fire everyone in the country, you have to make decisions without emotion. I look especially at Duke or times in other games where we gave up drives, and our alignment was just too far off the line of scrimmage. The epitome of that was this play against Duke. It was 3rd and 18 and now its 4th and 6. Notice that once everybody starts backing up, we only have 4 guys inside the line to beat. How can you stop someone from making it 6 yards if its 11 versus 4?
