The first person I heard pick it out was Damien Mackey over on the pay board last year, even prior to the Texas loss. He said straight up that Mike's defense is soft in the middle. That why Texas ran for over 300yds last year, and Clemson mirrored that by also running for over 300yds. They just lined up and shoved Mike's soft defense down the field. Ohio State did it again this season with nearly 300yds on the ground. It gets frustrating seeing teams enforce their will on Mike's defenses like that, and even more frustrating when Mike says "we just aren't use to seeing offenses like that in our league". Well..no shit Mike!!! But what kind of offenses does he think his defenses will run into then they get into a playoff, or if they have any legit plans on playing for a national title again!!!
That statement, weak as it was when he made it, lasted two weeks.....until his team had to go and play their next opponent.
