re: Would you prefer an Elite offense or an Elite defense

Remember when they used to say offense sells tickets, defense wins championships. No longer the case imho fwiw tbh.

Michigan last year, UGA in 2022.

Elite defenses can stifle anyone, and wear you down. People panic about 1/9, but forget the earlier game (9-6). We stayed in the game at Bama long enough that we wore them down, and ran over them late.

Now with the rule changes, it's harder to have an elite defense, as everything is geared to favor the offense. Seems like you need a GOOD defense and an elite offense. But without the defense, you might still be losing games like Ole Miss, where you just couldn't score enough to win.
