#2 in the Nation in TAKEWAYS does not equal "sucking"

[Pig in the Pokey]

Memphis defense is a beast considering the talent they are working with. Add today's 4 to this and they are SECOND in the NATION.

oh, and they are winning 31-24 after a 17 point streak to end the half against the nation's #1 offense and #1 takeaway machine defense, undefeated UCF.

Turnovers are well and good. But you can't count on them. They have 3 today and are still down.

If we hire him he better at least figure out how to stop someone. Because we have seen what a bad defense will get you in the SEC

down by only 7 against a better team, on the road, for a title. it's 48-41. team beat him 40-17 earlier in the year. He has proved a lot today imo.

[regi]

And down 48-4, fun to watch, but doing nothing to improve on 465 yards and 32 points a game they give up.

[Karma]

It's really too bad he won't be our coach.

[Tony Perkis]

The AAC doesn't play defense. Like at all.

Charlie Strong is supposed to be  defensive guru and he gave up, what, 50?

They play some NASTY offense, tho, and it would score high in any league. "DEFENSE wins championships" is crap nowadays. The two top offenses in the nation are going at it for a title right now.

Oh, and Memphis just forced the 1st punt of the game in the 4th qtr... so you arent wrong!

I won't argue that.

True. Norvell's team beat opponents by 17pts per game. I don't care about yards or points allowed for that matter.

We averaged losing each game by 7pts. That's a 24 point swing. Sign me up. He's made the most sense all along anyways.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Memphis has been out of position a couple of time in coverage but for the most part they've been right there with the wr. NOT TO MENTION THEY ARE SUPER YOUNG!!!

[PIGGTOWN HAM]

It's really too bad he won't be our coach.

Wow, it's true what they say, you really are a b!+@#

Give up 32, score 52. It's a 20 point victory.

[hoggusamoungus]

Memphis just forced a UCF punt.  It only took 53 minutes but they did force a punt.

yes indeed. I actually like their style of defense. Red zone scoring defense and turnovers forced stats are great.

AND, they are about to tie it up now, after that great STOP by the defense!

Always hard to beat a team twice. What Memphis has done better since the other game is not turn it over themselves.

UCF would have 60 on the board and two of the turnovers were Johnny on the spot kind of turnovers.

You know as well as I do that won't fly in this league. I'm not against hiring Norvell. It's just he will have to find someone who can put a serviceable defense on the field

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

I want their damn wr coach. They catch every damn thing.

[PIGGTOWN HAM]

What a game! Just hope it doesn't go to OT and delay the announcement

[CDBHawg]

Margin of victory is something nobody looks at. He's winning games by 17ppg

[LawyerHog50]

If you think they don't have a defense you're stuck in the stone age.

There are no "losers' or "bad coaches' in this title game. Its the damn GotY!

[20gauge]

If you think they don't have a defense you're stuck in the stone age.

They have given up 48 points. Every coach we have ever had would be shredded for giving up POINTS like this.

And if you think this defense will work against the best teams in the SEC you are crazy

[Pig in the Pokey]

back-to-back stops for that defense!

[hawginbigd1]

a LOSER? ARFSM?

Yiu STFU. You know this D won't cut it in the SEC week in and week out. I'm fine with scoring 60.

[rhames]

Norvell is an awesome offensive mind but let's use a little discretion here



Their defense is bad.

[Hawg Red]

Uh oh....

And your posts are bad.

[Pig in the Pokey]

it's 88th in scoring and #3 in takeaways, and top 30 in redzone, and top 10 in special teams, and #2 in offense. nobody cares about your meaningless yards stat.

Oh, and they WIN by an average of 17 points per game. SEVENTEEN!!!

[tkhog]
