Thanks for posting. I like this paragraph best: Quote If there's likely to be a reckoning for the skinnied-up Tigers defense, it might come on Nov. 5 when they head to Tuscaloosa to play Alabama. The Crimson Tide runs a conventional, pro-style offense from behind a jumbo-size line that averages 6 feet 4, 313 pounds. Those blockers, paired with 224-pound running back Trent Richardson, can make any defense look small.

The constant pounding and beating they take will eventually wear them down I think. By season end they will be really tired. RTR!

As soon as one offense finished running a play, a fresh new one trotted out. Miles liked it so much he carried it over to the preseason. "I want you to imagine practicing against a hurry-up Oregon offense in the middle of the summer," Montgomery said, "in Louisiana." Imagine Les trying to keep up with TWO clocks.

LOL:lol: That is funny! Also, that is a good idea for getting your defense in condition for an up tempo offense. I doubt that Miles came up with that by himself. |
