[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 643507, member: 2299"] The problem was that the offense was usually not good enough to compensate for the weakness that his defense always was. When he had next level talent on offense, like with Thomas and Dwyer, it was enough to compensate. But last year, our offense which was [I]clearly[/I] not a problem, had 6 games of failing to reach 28 points (and a 7th where it was only done in OT). In 2017 it was 4/11 games failing to reach that mark. In 2016 it was 4/13 games failing to reach that mark. In 2015 it was 8 times. When your entire program identity is based around your offense, you shouldn't be having a third of your games end up where you score less than 28. The offense being fine, doesn't mean the offense wasn't an issue. Fine isn't good enough when you build entirely around that side of the ball as Johnson did. Have you ever considered that maybe his choice in offensive scheme helped contribute to the recruiting and defensive problems that you are pointing to? Maybe our inability to have a competent passing game hindered our ability to prepare to defense a passing game? Maybe our preferred OLmen didn't prepare our DL for what they would face from other opponents? It's not Johnson's offense vs "insert chosen DC"'s defense. It's all Johnson's team, and the strengths and weaknesses are interconnected. There is a very real aspect that the cost for us having the yards per play wonder on offense (which sure doesn't change some of the low scoring outputs), came at the cost of a lack of preparing our defense for what it would experience.
