Yeah, Pat. Sure. How does this explain that Muschamp always has a good defense? Are all of his offenses for the teams he's been coach for had bad offenses, even as a defensive coordinator? Pat Dooley is a joke.

Who is this, Pat Dooley, you speak of?

Is he on this message board or does he write for some small town newspaper that has no forum for discussing Gator Sports? :wink:

When my brother and I were little kids, our family used the word dooley instead of saying penis.

He has a little point. The defense was on the field for less plays than any defense in FBS. They were only about 40th in yards allowed per play. They certainly weren't a true top 10 defense in reality but I think they will be this season.

He's really not that far off. If the offense is taking it's time and leading the country in TOP of course the defense isn't going to give up many yards. Having said that, anyone trying to argue that Muschamp isn't tops in the country as far as defense is concerned is an idiot.

What offense were you watching last year that took chunks of time off the clock?

We held the ball the 2nd most of any team in FBS and opposing teams ran the fewest plays against us of any team in FBS meaning our defense was the most rested in all of FBS. We didn't score hardly but we ran the clock all game.

You mean the guy whose defense gave up 460+ yds. to fcs GSU that lost to Wofford on the ground alone with no passes completed out of 3 attempts? Yep, must be a

We were young last season - it should be improved this season.

I haven't found a reason to visit the Sun since Hallifax whacked the GSMB. Dooley just reminded me why I haven't.

I'm going to make an admission. I only could stand to watch one game last year. But it seems to me our offense consisted of taking the ball at the 20. Using 3 plays to go ten yards, rinse, repeat until we turned ball over. Is this an accurate observation?

The guy can coach defense. Let's also not forget about shutting down manziel either.

Yep. I haven't been back there either. I'm curious how much traffic they have lost.

Dooley also had an all time top WRs at UF list and didn't include Percy Harvin.
