Matt Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 What is it about entry into the Big Sky that makes defense become inept? The BSC has only 1 team in each of the top 20 in both scoring defense (Poly #18) and total defense (MSU #18). Quote

Matt Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Facing high-powered, multi-faceted offenses every week? That was my first thought as well, until I looked at the numbers and saw other conferences have multiple teams in the top 20 in both the total/scoring O and the total/scoring D categories. It appears possible for a conference to have teams play both good offense and defense. Quote

It is, and that's how you win National Championships without having to rely on a fluke play at the end of the NC game to win just one!! Quote
mg2009 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 on the surface, the big sky has always reminded me of the big12. Offense always seems to be the priority when recruiting, and this seems to have applied to UND either intentionally or not. Much of the best talent appears to be involved in the catching and throwing business. compare that to the sec, big10, or mvfc, where the focus tends to be on line play and defense, at least for the top-teams.

CAS4127 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Like a fake punt? Wasn't even close to the end of the game, and was a called play, not a short pass play involving numerous missed tackles and assignments. Nice try tho!! Quote
geaux_sioux Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Wasn't even close to the end of the game, and was a called play, not a short pass play involving one broken tackle. Nice try tho!! Fixed it, Schleusner made a play, can you blame him? Also, a perfect block to spring it. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Fixed it, Schleusner made a play, can you blame him? Also, a perfect block to spring it. Don't feed this troll, he will never listen to logic and/or reason. Quote
