Would like to ask a question that I saw elsewhere but that hasn't been answered. sat with an 'option guy' at the game for a few minutes. I didn't feel our option D was quite what it had been under Staggs. He agreed and pointed out some alignments. I wanted to see what some on here said.
I get that offense was our main issue.
That said, I have seen years I felt an option team could take 10 possessions and never score on us as we were just AWESOME defending the option. (like when we lost to Wofford 7-6 in 2003 or so; That's a great example of us having no offense to speak of and yet keeping an option team completely shut down. I have seen us do this)... Or last year when we beat Woff 34-14. I didn't quite feel like that yesterday - Why was our option D a little less effective this year than last year?[ ] What Were the changes in the way we defended it this year vs last year? Were the safeties lined up deeper perhaps? etc.?
thanks in advance!!!
