It was certainly the wrong defense...but Rumph slipping on the wet field..and ER being outta place was the real culprit...
Yeah, and that's kinda what I was getting at. Regardless of Miller or Schiano, we had some young kids at that time who weren't always in the right spots on the field. I'm not 100% blaming Schiano for that play, just pointing out that our young guys got a lot better with experience.
We had an uphill battle to fight with sanctions, and I don't think that even Nick Saban/Jesus Christ himself would have made our defense much better before 1998, we just didn't have the numbers/depth. I was at most of those games.
