I'm arguing that was the problem for 2012. As for now, I'm not sure.Originally Posted by SicemDawgz
So if the up-tempo offense being the issue is to be blamed, you could reasonably assume our defense should start out doing great and begin to falter as the game goes on. Is that what y'all are seeing? I can't tell any difference from the first play of the game on defense to any other play on defense. Maybe my TV's not high def enough

From what I've heard, he may have a medical waiver for this year, or redshirt (already missed half the season). He'll have 3 years of eligibility left if he doesn't play our last six games.
Only games we should need him would be USM, CUSACG, & Bowl game. But we would help anchor down our currently undersized center of the DLine (he's 310+ lbs, rest are below 300Lb's)
That would depend, if you are gassed in the first half, then don't stay loose and cramp up (lactic acid buildup) during the half-time break, it could hurt you.
It would depend on how gassed you were in the first half, and if you stay loose and don't allow the lactic acid to build up during halftime
TOP for the game was LT- 32:48, WKU- 27:12.
Look guys, we are ranked # 126/128 in total defense. That's with us playing UTEP and SCST as 2 of our games. Let that sink in for a minute. We are 2 spots ahead of Rice who is dead last. Maybe the defense is bad because of the offense, the moons gravitational pull or whatever, but being nearly dead last shouldn't be acceptable for Louisiana Tech.
HCSH is the man.
At the half = TOP was 20 to 10 in favor of WKU. We held the ball for ~23 minutes in the 2nd half
I guess all the extra rest spurred us on to make that one play on defense
We've also played Texas Tech, WKU, and MTSU, good offenses. HOPEFULLY we would improve to the 80s-90s by the time of the USM game (... not holding my breath, Ill wait til I see it).
TOP is a meaningless stat for game outcome. Just look at the WKU-Houston Baptist game. WKU won 50-3. TOP was WKU 15 and change, HBU almost 45 minutes.
I agree. I was dispelling the myth that our offense had the defense gassed from scoring to quick.
Agreed. In this age of "mile a minute" offenses, TOP is a worthless stat.
If we rush three and still allow receivers to be open all over the field. ..why not just blitz every time? We can't cover worth a damn so at least give then less time to get the pass off.
I can tell you have a degree from Louisiana Tech University. Apparently, they don't teach logic at other universities, like Tulane, where our illustrious DC went.
BTW, our HC is the one calling the coverage so ND doesn't teach it either.
