Re: What does it mean when people say "we must learn to "STOP" the HUNH offenses"?
The way HUNH has changed defense is basically the difference between damage prevention v. damage control. The days of us being able to stifle most offenses may be over but effective defense is still possible. I think the staff can live with conceding a TD and 3 FGs to any offense (they'd prefer the coverage unit not allowing a cheap 7 points though). That is the crux of how you attack these guys. They're gonna get yardage and you aren't going to pitch many shutouts anymore. The key is effective defense from 30 yards and in. Stop the 7s and allow more 3s. The ball control offense has to be working in concert with the defense though.
