Last year our offense scored more points than any team in program history.....and it did nothing to help the play of our defense. I understand your thought, but I think last year showed that our defense needs to stand on its own and be good or we're just not gonna have a successful season.

We didn't play any TO offenses either . The TO doesn't play well from behind, we need to score early and often. :yes:

It's funny how people try to rag on our offense as a "gimmick" or "high school offense", but yet it forces defenses into a ridiculous amount of preparation if you don't want to get rolled over. If it was such a weak, gimmicky offense, you'd think it'd be easy to shut down. Face it, it's a legit tough offense to have to deal with. Most fans just don't know what they're talking about.

The closer we get, the more I worry about chop blocks. There coach said he would support outlawing the move if there was any data supporting the fact that it caused more injuries than standard blocking. I can't believe there havent been any studies on it. Seems like a no brained. Anyone seen any studies?

No study has been done on it because it's flat out untrue that it causes more injuries. With all the *****ing and moaning our rivals do about our "dirty blocks", if we were causing more injuries than other teams it'd be researched and brought up every time. The one example I've seen people bring up was an accidental chop block (which happens with every team, btw) against Georgia from 2013. Sorry, if your only example of a guy getting hurt against us is from 4 years ago, you've killed your argument.
BTW I like the guy advocating stomping on our players. Nothing like legitimately dirty tactics to respond to legal blocks. Classy

There are a lot of illegal tactics that used to be legal.

Even if there was a study (there isn't) relating cut blocking to injuries, it would need to relate to all injuries on both sides, not just leg injuries. Having the defense worried about defending themselves reduces their ability to concuss QBs and WRs. And concussions are probably the worst thing going in football nowadays.

Concussions weren't nearly as big a deal back when everybody ran the option. The modern "pro style, circus catch" offense puts the QBs and WRs in extremely dangerous positions where their eyes aren't on the defender, the defender isn't worried about his own safety, and the potential for violent aerial collisions and targeting goes way up.
