fUSC finished #6 in total defense in 2004. http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb2004/natlRank.jsp?div=4&rpt=IA_teamtotdef&site=org
Sorry but comparing what happened in Georgia to last night is apples and oranges. Georgia beat LSU with flawless execution. ASU racked up over 500 yards due to Pelini running a basic high school level defensive scheme.
Florida put 42 on La Tech. Don't you think our D might be a tad better than Tech's? All we need is 43. :yelwink2:
Another thought. Remember how scared we were of Tennessee after UAB punked us? By the way, Crawfish. I was at that game (UAB). It might be a good thing that I watch from the safety of Breaux Bridge.
Well, we could very well have the most dangerous offensive unit on the planet. So that's a bright spot. About Pellini, I just keep referring back to how badass his D was his last year at Nebraska, and hope that is a more accurate reflection of his capabilities than was last night. Certainly, he'll be aware of the fact that some serious adjustments need to be made. He's been heralded time and again as one of the 'hottest' coordinators in the country. So let's just hope that the media knows what it's talking about and that last night was an aberration.
Yes, and they finished #30 in total defense in 2003. We dont usually recognize that title around here, but thats the one I am referring to. http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb2003/Internet/national rankings/IA_teamtotdef.html
Notice I said, "You dont have to have a top 10 defense to win a national title" not "the" national title. :wink:
Exactly, talk about drama. Not to mention he completely skipped the heroic deed of United Flight 93 passengers, so often forgotten on 9/11
