I just read the box score for MSU vs. LSU -- LSU defense gave up 60 pass attempts for 623 pass yards JFC. Remember when 300 yards was a big day? The definition of "success" in the passing game really has changed.

That's a Big 12/ PAC 12 offense for you. It appears like the B10 and SEC are close to adapting to modern day college football offense.
Hopefully the defenses keep up. I was grossed out watching the Texas Tech defense vs Texas.... the defensive formations Tech ran were disgusting. 3 man front, dime coverage for most of the game, and CBs 10 to 15 yards off the WRs.
I prefer when defenses have a fighting shot! Arena football style is too shallow.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

OK, so defense. You have to have good DTs and DEs. These guys, the really good ones who have the combo of quicks, size, strength and footwork , don't grow on trees. In fact, they are a rare find. Not sure you can see the talent in a 15-16 year old, follow him in his senior HS season and then develop the skill set these key defensive players need at the college level. You let today's college QBs sit back there comfortably and throw to today's WRS ,XRs and TEs you're toast. No running game required. Well, that's an exaggeration but you get the point.
Add to that OK CBs that have the skill-set to defend 1-1 and a monster FS who can quickly react to the developing play and you've got something. I don't think there a lot of college defenses outside of the elites that have all those tools in their tool box. Don Brown doesn't and M is going to get railed by teams that employ anything close to Mike Leache's offense at MSU ...... and osu is going to ass-rape Brown by slightly different means than a Mike Leach like O this time around. I'm not really looking forward to watching M football.
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

The other thing are the rule changes. WRs used to absolutely get mauled at the LOS. Going over the middle, they KNEW their heads would be taken off. And QBs in the pocket knew that they would be killed as they threw the ball. Hearing footsteps, for WRs and QBs, was a real thing. Now, not so much.
Also, it seems holding on the OL isn’t watched nearly as close as it used to be.Last edited by AlabamAlum; September 29, 2020, 03:08 PM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Just saw this. Ohio State at 6th is stupid. Either rank them now or don’t due to the football-no football-football delay. But 6th is just ridiculous.
1. Clemson. 2. Bama. 3....Florida? GTFOH.
