[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 3367582, member: 28"] Mostly true. They stiffened up when needed in most cases, allowing teams to romp down to FG range and holding them to only that. The UT match was fabulous, but it wasn't repeated. Even last season we just choked BYU to death, but the next week couldn't stop anything. It was maddening. I am all for an attacking defense. Gillespie was more of a read and react (mostly react) philosophy, ceding the initiative to the offense. We need to remember that the defense gets a vote, too, and that attacking certain areas may lead to 1.) Big Plays for them, or 2.) Big Plays for us. Disruption of the offensive flow and timing is a good thing, and we should do more of it. Yeah, we might stunt into a big play, but we might blow up a few plays as well and get the ball from time to time. [/QUOTE]
