Part of the problem isn't that they don't put emphasis on the defense, it's that the offenses are on the field for a very small portion of time thus leading to serious fatigue on defense. It's tough to be at the top of your game when you've been on the field for 80% of a game.

Some on here might want to do a little research before making statements...
1) LaTech has a much better T.O.P. avg than anyone on here is giving them credit for. (T.O.P doesn't seem to hurt Oregon, TxTech, ND, aTm or many other well run spread attacking teams.
2) LaTech doesn't employ the Mumme Air-Raid. Yes, It's a spread attack...but it's FAR FAR from Mumme's 70-30 pass-to-run system. They actually run it more than they throw it...And concentrate on getting in as many snaps as possible, while wearing the DEF down...
3) Dykes only cares about scoring more points than the opponent. But isn't that what's most important??

Go back and check how "porous" auburn's defense was. They were pretty darn good.
And check your facts on bama. How have they won two titles in the last 5 years. Sure as hell wasn't playing basketball on grass. Did you watch the national title game last year?
Learn football then come back to this board.
I'm all for an exciting offense. I like what oregon does. But sacrificing defense to run a silly offense gets you nowhere.

What FACTS about Bama did I get wrong...I stated the fact that ALA just got punked by a aTm team that runs the exact OFF that your complaining about! And aTm only gave up 24 pts to that #1 ranked ALA team...yet could only hold LaTech to 57.
BTW...
ALA's 2009 DEF - a NC yr...They gave up 9pts/game.
AUB's 2010 DEF - a NC yr...They gave up 24pts/game.
ALA's 2011 DEF - a NC yr...They gave up 8pts/game.AUB doesn't look all that stout defensively, to me!!!
But I guess since you like what Oregon does...the next question should be...Does Oregon play SEC DEF?? NO...They outscore their opponents using a similar spread attack to what LaTech uses, only w/ less passing!!!

I hear ya. I would much rather have a HC/DC and then go out and get a Brown or Kingsbury or the like. We'll fair much better IMHO with the head man being a Defensive coach. Go Cats!
