Our safeties and linebackers are being schooled on how to provide better run support against the triple option. Kinda hard when they only see it once a year vs. seeing a Veer or Wishbone offense every week. Old school.
No doubt. But until we can stop them, we are not favorites
Until we can stop any offense with a pulse, I don't see us the favorite. Offense should be stellar, but the defense HAS to improve in order to win the conference. The Tigers gave up 40-plus points in six of seven games last season against teams that finished with a winning record. I understand the pace of play on offense can impact the amount of points given up on defense (more possessions, tired defense, etc.), but Memphis won't go 10-2 or 11-1 giving up 40-plus points to just about every winning team they face.
That was last year with a new staff and no depth. This year is different Avery, Dillon , Cook, and others are leaders on that defense
