The running game

[DMoney]

The story for me from the College Football Playoff is the importance of the running game. It's the same story we've seen the past 20 Januarys with teams like Alabama, Georgia and Michigan.

The best running team (Notre Dame) and the two best running back tandems (Ohio State and Penn State) are in the Final Four. The two best individual running backs (Jeanty and Skattebo) were in the playoff. Texas beat Clemson by running and then almost got upset when Arizona State outran them.

The frustrating thing is that Miami can run with all of these guys AND pass at a superior level. This season will hurt for a while.

Miami would have been a better team to watch than half or more of these cfp teams. Gotta get in next time

Defense is the story for me. Georgia, Texas, Ohio State and Notre Dame all with elite defenses. Those defenses look night and day superior to anything we’ve had since 2003.

 

[CANESCANES]

They all have strong defenses as well

 

[Dude]

Did I just watch all of the Bye teams lose? That's wild.

PSU rbs are dirt slow and will be exposed vs a team there size and as fast or faster. Dont see them keeping that running game going when the comp gets tougher.

 

[M3N]

let’s hear about a new S&C staff. Also a new STC.

Defense isn’t the only thing needed

Defense is the story of this and last season tbh

Oh what I would give to see Martinez take off in the playoffs...the college football world was deprived of our offense and Cam Ward of course (thank you defense ).

Four of the Top 5 scoring defenses. The old cliches are still true in college football.

 

[canes1996]

If our defense was actually as good as they appeared against UF (total mirage; they hadn’t figured us out yet), we would likely still be playing.

Rings true in the NFL as well.

Defense is the key. You dont see fire drill when a team goes in motion. Not much confusion at simple things, the team can actually line up and execute.

This s why all this crying over a qb is meaningless.
You’re not doing sht without a defense and ours is Swiss cheese with silicone caulking patching up the holes.

Go look at the Defense’s numbers.

Football doesn’t change as much as people would like to think. The same things that won in the 70’s work today. Block well, tackle well, be tough, disciplined, and execute.

 

[LuCane]

Defense, strategy, and coaching preparation. Imagine that…

Michigan proved that point as recently as last season.
