[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 326157, member: 857"] My belief is that in today's game offenses go fast and use a ton of formations to run a more limited number of plays. This is confusing for a defense, and when offenses go fast, defenses get fatigued. It's harder to concentrate, communicate, and react to get into position. It makes defenders think a lot and the uncertainty slows them down. Since everything is spread out it's easier for the QB to quickly identify misalignments/blown assignments and exploit them. So it puts a lot of pressure on defenders. This is pretty much UNC's offensive strategy, so it makes sense to me that our system may have been too complicated to keep up with the frenetic pace and the array of formations they throw at you. It would seem that UNC "exposed us", the players gave Roof some feedback, and he listened and changed things so where the guys could more just play. And the defense appeared to respond by playing better. Now, one could argue that we should have gone into the UNC game with a simpler game plan to begin with. It's not like it's the first time we've played that offense. But I guess you are also trying to match the experience and capabilities of your defenders to your gameplan and sometimes what you come up with doesn't work. Then you have to find a way to fix it and get better. So at least we did do that and saw modest improvement after that game. [/QUOTE]
