What happened to SEC defenses? Looks worse than the Big12

Nobody can stop anybody.
Conventional wisdom says with a short pre-season, defenses should be way ahead of offenses at this point.
Right now every defense looks slow, unprepared and out of position.

1. Modern Offensive philosophy has finally taken over. Many old school coaches were stuck in the stone age and not taking advantage of new ideas, innovations, and new rules that favor offense, those coaches are now all gone. Almost all OC's understand the optimal way to run an offense now.
2. The rule changes over years, especially the past 10 years, have made it harder to play aggressive defense. Virtually every major rule change has handicapped the defense more and more.
Defenses have not caught up to modern offensive philosophy and if the rules don't change to help out the D, it probably never will. 50-40 games will become the norm, like 24-20 games used to be.

Yeah but this wasn't across the board in the SEC last year.
A Saban defense gives up 48 points to fricking Ole Miss and then scores 63 themselves like they're Baylor.
LSU can't stop anybody from marching down the field.
All the other SEC teams are just swapping points. Offenses have not had that long to prepare for this season.
But the defenses are the ones that look totally UNPREPARED.
Is this an aberration for the Covid year or a mea culpa to the Big12 saying sorry we razed you all these years, you were just light years ahead of us in offense.

A spread offense with a good-great Qb is very tough to contain. Offense is about pushing the tempo now. SEC was probably the last conference to adopt it. Is Georgia the only team in the SEC not running a spread offense now?

Football rule changes favor the offense entirely over the last 15 years. RPO is so broken that if they made a new ncaa football game everybody would cheese that and pick plays. These two plays types started to become popular around 2015 and now everybody uses them. Hard hits are basically out of the game and now WRs have zero fear going over the middle of the field. It all comes down to being able to stop the run while playing coverage. That basically comes down to having a dominant front 7. Every high school runs a spread offense and use their best athletes on offense. NFL doesn’t have many star defensive players anymore. Without the big hits everybody wants to play offense now. Long story short defense didn’t have to cover the whole field 15 years ago and the best athletes grow up to play offense now.

Exactly. Bad defenses used to be soft up the middle and plagued by missed tackles.
Now defenses are soft everywhere. Most tackles are made from behind by trailing defenders. Missed tackles still occur, but they’re not as blatant. It’s hard to miss a tackle when you’re out of position, slow to react, take bad angles, and are nowhere near the ball carrier.

Please pick one. I get Mizzou-Iowa (they're close enough). Iowa-OSU would mean you're just a Big10 guy. But Mizzou-OSU means you're mentally queer. All three is some kind of trans-monkey-sexual that no one can ever understand.

Offense relies on 1 player (QB) reading a defense, knowing where to execute, and then executing, relying on the 1 guy they decide upon to make the play.
Defense requires 9-10 guys executing their job while fitting the scheme so that it's down to 1-2 guys to do their part and win the play. Then do that three times in a row before the offense can do it once every three times for 10 times in a row.

Big-12 offenses happened to SEC defenses.

You hate to see it

2020 is also bad for SEC defenses. I hate 2020.

That toilet paper shortage earlier this year? Turns out it wasn't COVID-related, it was as SEC coordinators stockpiling for their tissue-paper defenses.

This is a big factor.
We see it in the NFL, also. Scoring is way up.

SEC caliber offensive talent is now running the modern offense.
