14 points? Oh ok
Well you all dropped 17 points or less 4 times last season vs UK, Mizzou, Georgia and Miss St...
Total Defense according to ncaa last year had
Miss St # 1
Georgia #13
Kentucky #23
Mizzou # 62
Miami's Total Defense was ranked #4 so its not all that fathomable that 14 points could be scored. Remember not much changed with our defense from last year. Even though Baker is the DCoord his defense mirrors what Manny was running. Im thinking this game will be low scoring
Now on the flip side we gave up 20 points or more 7 times last year, but that was not a true reflection on the defense. Our offense and punting game absolutely had a direct effect on the defense in those games, but other than the LSU game and Wisconsin game which we got blown out in our defense did well considering what our offense was doing.
My buddy pointed out something to me that I never realized but had we had an offense that was even 50% better than they were then we most likely beat Virginia , Duke and Ga Tech (we lost by combined 17 pts) . Our record would have been 10-3 or 10-4 after losing to Clemson in the ACCCG and Richt probably would have never retired and kept thinking his playcalling and offense was working.
