So, does Kirby Smart finally throw in the towel on the old “ball control and defense” philosophy after his generationally phenomenal defense got roasted by a team that can throw the ball?
I’m not saying defense doesn’t matter so don’t try to make that argument. It very much matters. It’s just that when two evenly matched teams at the top of the heap match up, the team with the better quarterback/offense seems to win a majority of the times. Eventually you’re going to play someone that you can’t completely overwhelm on defense and you’re going to have to rely on your offense to score in bunches.
