re: What in the world is happening to defense in cfb???

Perhaps the way the game is being called is having an impact. Targeting penalties and stiff DPI calls mean that secondaries pretty much can't muck up the game if they're facing speedy WRs.

When you can't touch anyone, the game turns into 7-on-7. This HEAVILY favors the offense.

I think we'll come to a day where teams stop running the ball as well, since defenses ARE able to fight back against a running team.
