but all it takes is one or two stops/turnovers and suddenly you're down 14 in a matter of seconds. Then it becomes pretty damn hard to keep running the ball down their throat.

Not if they cannot stop you from running it. Unless you're in the final minutes, you keep running it. LSU/Bama/Ohio State eventually get stops, too.

You can't keep their pace and they know it. LF7 will have 250 but they don't care. They'll score 24 a half and dare you to run it. But you get impatient and make a mistake now they're up 14 and can't run to keep up.

The other issue you have is Linwood. They've got guys to spread you and then Linwood will go off. Thankfully Kendall is too stupid to use him.

See, that's where I think what this whole argument started over comes into play. I really don't think these defenses are that bad. They have to play this way because of the offenses they're playing against. No defense would look good against Big 12 offenses on a weekly basis.

I have no facts to back this up, so don't ask. Just a matter of opinion.
