Defense wins Championships.

TCU 51 Michigan 45
Georgia 42 Ohio State 41

Now that's some defense

 

[Voltopia]

Yeah okay but defense DOES win Orange Bowls.

( I know, if not for TCU's 2 pick-sixes, MeatChicken wins that game...lol)

The Iowa Defense scored twice against Kentucky today. So Defense does win some bowl games.

Driving back from Miami today, listening to MCB (my wife is a Cat fan,) the color guy says that the "Iowa defense has outscored both offenses!" I thought I was gonna run off the road!

In the end, on the last drive, it was Georgia's defense that held Ohio State to a field goal attempt. So, yes, defense wins championships

Iowa has been that way all year..

They let them get in easy game winning fg range from their 25 with only 50 second left. Big fail. It's not like they made them kick a 50 yarder.

They lost 2 yards in 3 plays that started at the 31 an ended at the 33 forcing a 50 yarder. TCU had 2 pick 6 in them 51 points which they needed to win. So defense did have a impact in both games. Great plays on both sides of the ball were made all night.

If UT had Iowa’s defense we would have been the 85 bears, but better

That game was a piss poor display of College football. Turned it because it was that bad.

We haven't seen defense that bad since the Helsinki episode of 1919... and we all remember how that turned out.

That is twisting pretty hard to make that saying work.



The UGA offense scored 42 points is why they won.

It was indeed wretched.

Defense still wins championships. It's my belief we're seeing a repetitive cycle in football. Defenses devise schemes to stifle contemporary offenses. In return, offenses evolve to exploit defense scheme's weaknesses. This repeats. Three yards and a cloud of dust (power run), could be called maybe a bulldozer offense. Enter massive DL's to create an immovable object. You've seen offenses become dominant, only to see defenses evolve as well. The single-wing, the wishbone, run and shoot, pistol, and so on. Right now it seems we are in an era of spread, and various flavors of option offenses. Eventually, defense will catch up with this too. In the end, we'll be back to another stop 'em, stomp 'em, and lock 'em up era.

If they had an offense they could have been scary this year

Whoever scores the most points wins championships.

I dunno… the rules favor the offense. Eventually they will change PI to a spot foil like the NFL.

Guys like Muschamp will coach DBs to grab if they feel like they are getting beat. 15 yards is better than 30. He did it at FL. He did at at SC. And he’s doing it at UGA.

Well, one thing you can be sure of it; cheaters gonna cheat.

A little perspective here - they were on the 30 yd. line with 30 seconds left and only needed a FG to win. That, and Ryan Day's playing-not-to-lose putrid play calling didn't help matters.

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

“Defense wins championships”was exactly what I was thinking while sitting in the stands in Columbia SC watching us give up a gazillion yards and 63 points to Beamerball.

 

[JRich]

12 (14) of TCU's 51 points came from interception returns for touchdowns.

 

[Advol]

Play Calling and execution wins Championships. Play calling on BOTH sides of the line.
Look NO farther than the Big Blue calls all game long!!
Putting players in a position to perform and be successful! Difference maker in most games IMHO!
Which says Coaching Wins Games!
