They can't work together. Part of the reason our defense has been so dominant, is because our offense limits the opposing team's opportunities by possessing the ball, and draining the clock. Our defenses struggles have often times come when our offense couldn't convert 3rd downs and maintain possession, or when our offense would turn the ball over too often and put our defense right back on the field.As others have said, "It's just one game."
However, I think it's a case of A&M being better than we thought and USCe being very underwhelming.
KS's offensive approach is fun to watch and he gets receivers wide open in spaces for plenty of YAC.
I'll ask the question (and I know what some of you will say) but why in the world can't he get a DC like Kirby Smart and have a dominant defense?
If you put KS's offense with our defense and it would be a "wow" moment.
Don't say the two philosphies couldn't work together because I refuse to believe that.
For a team that wants to score fast, its defense is always going to struggle to be dominant. It can be good.. but it's going to give up a lot of yards and points simply because it wears down from being sent right back on the field again and again.
