[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 836476, member: 265"] I'll add one thing about Tenuta. I think one reason he was so successful was Chan Gailey. A lot of Tech people disliked the way we played under Chan because he was so conservative on O. But the main reason for that was to reduce the number of mistakes that could result in poor field position for the D. This meant two things. First, the D [I]did[/I] get good field position most of the time and the number of iINT and fumbles was minimized. Second, since the D knew that the game was on their shoulders, they played like it. I think this is no longer as easy for reasons that were outlined so well above by the Engineer. But it was when Tenuta was DC. Too bad, that. One of my fondest memories in Tech football was beating Fridge's first Maryland team 7 - 3. That game epitomized a mantra of mine: get ahead, play good D, then sit on the ball like a slug. We did that for the entire game. I loved it. [/QUOTE]
