He's been made to look stupid due to his assessment of Tyler Russell and our offense. He claimed Mullen couldn't do it. Well, he has. Russell's a record setting QB, and our offense in the Mullen Era is the best it has ever been, even with a makeshift OL the past 2 years (thanks Croom). And we'll be even better next year with a Russell/Prescott combo much like Leak/Tebow, with a veteran OL and RBs. Then we go to Prescott full time in 2013 with other spread players around him. Would we be better with a dual threat like Cam Newton? Sure we would, all teams would. That doesn't prove Coach34's point, it just proves that teams are better with great players.
So, he takes up for the defense, which was torched repeatedly this year. When the whole board disagrees, he tries to act like he's an expert. Lunacy.
Offense was more of a problem than defense in the only game we lost that we should have won.
We have real problems on defense. But we also looked like **** on offense against a mediocre defense because we got out schemed. We can win with a defense that gets three turnovers in the first half. Not going to beat national championship conttenders, but we can get to 8 or 9 wins. Defnitely not happy about the performance of our defense this year, but if we improve on the DL, we should be able to get through next year without defense killing us. But if we don't figure out some **** on offense, how our defense plays won't matter. It's great that we can execute against weak out of conference opponents and dumpster fire SEC defenses, but we can't get shut down by mediocre SEC defenses and expect to get beyond the Music City Bowl.
