Old military tale, in 1914 the French military philosophy was "le offense a' outrace," that going on the defense would lead to defeat. Watching the recruiting during the Myers and Day years led me to think that perhaps the same philosophy had taken root in Columbus.
I understand that it takes time for a new DC to recruit "his" players and for the team to understand and accept his scheme. The defense that gave away huge chunks of yardage to Michigan played pretty damn good against a much better Georgia team and I expected to see that from week 1. Perhaps the number of forced passes, a couple of sacks, a fumble recovery and a pick six are signs that this defense is ready.
I hope they are ready. I mean, if not now, when?
