Armed Forces Bowl

[Turbine]

It's inexcusable. It's either our coaches are not working hard enough, or they can't coach. There's no wiggle room. Tech has nothing but coaching prowess over us. They're getting better athletes and they're teaching them well. It's inexcusable.

For years and years Tech has tended to focus on a high octane offense.

I for one don't underestimate the draw this has for a high school recruit.

And we're built better for a "high octane, high scoring" offense. The appeal will draw top caliber athletes AND supporters. It's not even debatable that our offense needs to be intelligently geared up.

I don't understand though why all high octane offenses have to be accompanied by a sucky defense. Manny Diaz was the last decent defense we have had

Because they usually don't control clock...you usually still win TOP but you either punt quick or score quick...not often it's long clock consuming drives. Your defense doesn't sit on the side very long. I also think mentally defenses with high powered offense don't feel like they need to hold the other team to 14-17 points.

Our pass defense was extremely bad this year and lost us some games

Ours did too but just in general teams with high powered offense's usually have bad defenses. Teams that usually have really good defenses often have either down right bad offense's or 3 yards and a cloud of dust type. When you have both, you have Alabama, Ohio state,Clemson,NE patriots

[Oiler]

They have a name for teams that combine a high octane offense with a stout defense. They're called CHAMPIONS.

[Tell The Truth]

The last 2 TECH games against USL show just how far behind your program is....TECH wins graduates more than 5 players a year and isn't filed with Coach supported thugs

The only valid excuse is the potentially fast turnover of the ball. But it's a marginal excuse. Some years, it just turns out your defense is exploited by poor matchups. But in general, I know what you mean. It baffles me how many high octane (great passing) offenses are accompanied by a porous defense.

I'd rather take that risk. We've had too many low octane offenses accompanied by a sucky defense. But some head coaches and staff have the skills to build good programs... and some don't. It isn't as random and "cyclical" as coaches purport. There's a reason for every season. Don't ever let them tell you otherwise.
