Defense is not rocket science. Too many excuses being thrown around. Pellini's D was nothing special but he knew what he was doing. Players respected him. Not sure our Co-Cos knowing what they are doing or have much respect.

Don't know about the lack of respect thing. A person needs to be around the team to pick up that type of info. What I do know is that I agree somewhat with the thought that our D is designed for big-on-big physical play with pro-style sets, ect. As opposed to the spread sets. That whole offense is designed to create mismatches, get guys the ball in space and you MUST have a QB that can make reads at the line of scrimmage. Look at the really good defenses against the spread, they have LB's in the 210-220 range that run like safeties. LSU has LB's, as good as they are, that are 230-245 and run like LB's.
