Who says defense wins championships?

Err, I do.

Out of the last five national champions, four have had top five rankings in total defense.

Yet, it's "out of desperation" we've seen all these teams make hires on the defensive side of the ball?

The Broncos certainly added some evidence to support that the claim is still valid at the highest level of football

The national scoring average increased to a record 29.65 points per team in 2015, according to official numbers compiled by the NCAA for CBS Sports. This is the fifth time since 2000 the scoring record has been set, and it shatters the previous record of 29.5 points set in 2012.

shattered? really? i hardly think a difference of .15 is shattering a record. breaking? yes;. the record was broken. but it was by no means "shattered". gotta love when they use big words to try and sell it. they don't need big words, just post the numbers and we would all be able to see that the record was broken. no need for extra fluff. but i guess they gotta try and sell it somehow.

Not even Nick Saban -- with seven top five defenses since 2008 -- has escaped the storming of the gates. The two worst defensive performances (yards gained by an opponent) in school history have occurred under Saban.

yet, he won 4 national championships in 7 years. i guess it didn't worry him too much.

and when it comes down to it, the ONLY stat that matters is the score at the end of the game. yards per carry, yards per game, passes per game, completions per game, time of possession, turnover margin, punt return yards, kickoff return yards, blocked kicks/punts, punting average.....NONE of that matters. you can win the game on paper, and still lose the game outright.

Auburn's Gus Malzahn has displayed an amazing ability to adapt his zone read to his personnel. Tre Mason ran for 300 yards against Missouri a couple of years ago in the SEC title game. Gus also somehow made an effective passer of Nick Marshall. At times, Malzahn has been the best player-caller in the game. He diligently invested in his scheme as a high school coach then took it to highest-level of college football -- to dominate.

I found the -to dominate, a bit unnecessary and ridiculous at the same time. Typical Dodd.

Gus has improved and done well most of the places he has been, but outside 2 seasons, one of which he had the greatest player in football that season, and one of the most impressive athletes to strap it on in a long time........Gus has been a bit of a flop. But he is dominating.......:eyeroll::sarcasm:

yeah, the only thing he's been dominating lately are excuses and chewing gum.
