Clemson does not...

need a great defense to win and "total defense is very misleading". Thats the sort of thing I am talking about. If thats your measuring stick, rutgers and connecticut both have better defenses Scar. Look out for them Falcons!!! Not the Atlanta Falcons the Bowling Green Falcons rolling out with the the number 6 defense in the nation. San Diego St., Fresno St. and Tulsa do not really have better defenses than Clemson. That ranking goes by yards allowed per game even though it says total defense. Scar is not a top 10 defense there, but in reality they most assuredly are. The separation between Scar and Clemson is 396 YPG for Clemson VS 315 YPG for Scar. If you consider Scar to have a great defense and that "total defense" is your measuring stick. Yeah, they could certainly go from below average to great by allowing one less WTF drive per game. That could easily be the one where you are leading by 30 points and give other players playing time at the end, even with one drive.

We are going to have Oregon type stats on defense, I guess they would be a good example of what we are trying to do? I know Chip is gone now, but with him there everyone is going to take them seriously even with crappy stats statistically on defense.

I don't know how many times I have to say if Boydd goes down we are in trouble. Even if Kelly was a twin and both played at the same level, with no injuries as backups for Clemson we would be in trouble if Boydd goes down. Is that hard to understand?
