[QUOTE="AlaJacket, post: 564632, member: 4425"] I agree 100%. I have seen the argument for years that it didn't matter what our offense was, because our scout team prepared the defense for the opponent. When you consider that the scout team was almost totally made up of players recruited for the 3O that argument just doesn't wash. When you look at how bad the pass protection of our starters was, do you really believe that the scout team's pass protection was any better? You know that (in general) they were not the same caliber of athletes, and they certainly weren't being coached like the starting offense in any respect. On the flip side, competitors negatively recruited by telling players that you'll be practicing against the 3O constantly if you go to Tech. Of course, this wasn't completely true, but it is easy to put this in the head of a 17 year old and just added to the recruiting problems. Pretty soon the defensive recruiting drops off, the defense deteriorates, and the defensive recruiting enters a downward spiral. [/QUOTE]
