Conference champions should NOT automatically make the College Football Playoff - "The Herd"
Alabama coach Nick Saban is shown here talking to the defense, including preseason All-American Eddie Jackson.(Photo: Mark J. Rebilas, USA TODAY Sports)
By the numbers, 2006 was the strangest defensive season in college football history.
Offenses averaged just 3.07 touchdowns per game, the lowest FBS-wide average since 1992. Teams gained only 346.9 yards per game, the lowest average since 1984. It was a year when defenses across the country dominated at a rate never seen before or since, relative to the era.
So for a few months, at least, defense did indeed win championships fulfilling the long-held yet flimsy adage preached by uninventive coaches and pundits alike.
In hindsight, that 2006 season was an aberration. Offenses had dominated during the previous half-decade; offenses would dominate the sport even more during the decade following.
For years, spread-based and no-huddle offenses have dictated the tempo of games, the flow of action and, far more often than not, the final result. The Southeastern Conference washesitant to fully embrace the movement,but even that changed: Alabama, among others, embraced a quicker style, needing a more potent offensive attack to maintain its perch atop the sport.
I still think the spread is a difficult offense, said Alabama coach Nick Saban. But I think the rules of college football favor the offense, favor the no-huddle.
Yet as teams prepare for September, defenses across college football have taken steps toward closing the gap.
Repetition, increased familiarity, tweaked personnel packages and increased communication have helped to turn back time offenses still rule, but more so than at any point in the last decade, defenses can hold their heads high.
Defense has adjusted, said Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. Defense has caught up to the lightning no-huddle, the fast-break no-huddle.
Adjusted, but with a caveat: Defensive numbers will never return to 2006-like levels, let alone those of earlier generations, as more and more teams stress total possessions as their most vital offensive statistic.
Because we have more snaps, in essence theres more game, said Miami (Fla.) defensive coordinator Manny Diaz. Its as if baseball went to an 11-inning game and were shocked that everyones production went up.
***
For defenses in this era, its not about winning the war; the opposition is always going to score points, often in bunches, and rare is the defense that can singlehandedly carry a team to a successful season. Its about winning individual battles on third down, for example, or in the red zone.
And no development has played a greater factor in a subtle defensive revival than the proliferation of spread offenses themselves. Ten years ago, a defense might face one or two early adopters of the style during the course of a single season. Now, teams will face an up-tempo opponent more often than not, and in many cases spend an entire year defending the system during practice.
The more teams that do that, the more defense is going to study it. The more defense studies it, the more variety of schemes you get, Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said.
What we see now how teams are defending us now are much different than what they were defending 15, 20 years ago just because they see it all the time.
Yet defenses had been seeing the up-tempo style for years and had done little to stem the uptick in offensive production. Its only in the recent past that head coaches and coordinators have found two ways to take advantage of their growing understanding: one, with an increased level of in-game communication, and two, by mirroring offensive shifts with a more tailored approach to defensive personnel.

In the beginning, one of the biggest advantages tempo-based offenses held was in their ability to simply move quicker than the opposition; defenses were unable to maintain the same pace, with that effect snowballing over the course of a single drive, let alone a single game.
The big thing was their inability to have a defensive structure to handle that fast pace, Kelly said.
Now, defenses have found an ability thanks in large part to repetition and an increased comfort level to communicate effectively their calls, he said.
In turn, this has allowed defenses to utilize their personnel to match wits with a quick-twitch offense. Several coaches interviewedequated their defensive approach with line changes in hockey: If the opposition sends on three wide receivers, defenses will quickly adapt with multiple defensive backs of their own, for example.
***
This has also led some programs to alter the way they recruit. In the past, Rodriguez would split his teams 85 scholarships evenly between offense and defense. Recently, however, its been flipping the other way, he said: Arizona may have as many as 50 scholarships devoted to defense, compared to 30 on offense.

It"s become a little bit of a chess match, said Rodriguez.
In a sense, however, the fact that defenses have found ways to combat this generations offensive explosive shouldnt be too surprising: In college football as in life, one trendreplacesanother, so the return of defensive competitiveness may be inevitable.
The game of football has never been the same for a long period of time, said Brigham Young coach Kalani Sitake. Its rotated quite a bit.
Offenses still rule, with the final game of last season as evidence: Alabama 45, Clemson 40. Yet as teams find ways to combat what once seemed the unstoppable, its possible to envision an era when defenses, not offenses, are again college footballs defining force.
Therell be a point in time where the defense is catching up and there will be some new scheme or technique that people are using defensively, California coach Sonny Dykes said. It"s all cyclical. Football"s cyclical.

Greater is the story of Brandon Burlsworth. Burlsworth was an Offensive Lineman for the Arkansas Razorback from 1995-1998. He started his career as a walk-on and through hard work and dedication, he not only earned a scholarship and a starting position but he was named a First Team All-American and eventually drafted in 1999 by the Indianapolis Colts. Tragically, he died in a car accident 11 days after being drafted.
His life story continues to serves as inspiration for the underdog. The Brandon Burlsworth Foundation provides free eye care to children in poverty and also provides tickets to each Arkansas Razorback home game to impoverished youth. The Brandon Burlsworth Trophy is given to the most outstanding Division 1 Football player who began his career as a walk-on.
Greater is told from Brandons funeral as his older brother Marty reflects on his life. It starts with Brandon as a probably 13 year-old kid (Marty is 17 years older) and builds the foundation for their relationship as a family. Brandon has dreams of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks and as he goes to playing on the high school football team, he still has that dream. He walks-on at Arkansas at a staggering 335 pounds but its not muscle and he struggles to keep up in practice. Relegated to the practice squad and facing an enormous uphill climb he drops his weight to a fit 275 pounds and then builds back up to a muscled 300 pound lineman. By the end of the season, hes earned the respect of his teammates, a scholarship, and a spot on the team.
Greater is a really, well-made film. It has some really good actors. Neal McDonough (TVs Legends of Tomorrow) is a great character actor who is normally in supporting roles but shines and commands the screen as Marty Burlsworth. Michael Parks (Red State, Tusk) is another solid character actor who does well as Brandons deadbeat Dad. Brandons Mom was played by Leslie Easterbrook (Police Academy) and she does well but her character seems a little too happy at her sons funeral and she doesnt look like she was old enough to have two sons that were born 17 years apart. Christopher Severio is pretty good as Brandon Burlsworth but hes the weakest of the main cast. Thats not a knock against him. Everyone in this movie was pretty good.
The characters in this movie all feel very noble. Even Brandons father who is a terrible person, comes across as a noble soul. When he starts his career, his teammates are mean and bully Brandon but their nobility comes though when he becomes a good football player. Coaches are noble. Rowdy fans become noble. Everyone felt a little too noble. Theres a scene in the film in which Brandon apologizes to another player for a mistake that cost the team a victory. I wont mention the players name but I asked him about it and he said that Brandon didnt apologize but he owned his mistake. In fairness, the player in question hasnt seen the movie yet so he cant really comment on what was truth and what was exaggerated. Sometimes movies tweak the story to fit the narrative, not that it matters in this case because most will agree that Brandon was a pretty good person and that scene helped the audience understand the kind of player he was and the effect he had on those around him.
I am still curious to know how close the portrayal of Brandon and his relationship to his teammates is to what really happened.
There is an undertone of Faith and Religion that may be off-putting to some. Some will say that Greater sends a message of if you pray and trust G*d, good things will happen but I took it as a if you work hard and dedicate yourself, good things will happen. There are scenes where Brandon expresses his faith and shares in bible study with a coach and his teammates but the message of that isnt thrown in your face. Of course, good things happened to Brandon Burlsworth but he also died so young and that should make you ask why. This is a struggle that Marty faces through the film, If G*d is so good then why do bad things happen to good people while evil men thrive. Its a question that the film doesnt answer except to say that Brandon was able to achieve so much because he had faith in G*d and also in himself and even though he is gone, his legacy continues.
If you love the Hogs and you love Underdogs, then you will love Greater. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will cheer but most importantly you will be inspired.

DON"T BREATHE Movie Review by Jaby & Meryl Goldsmith!
To all you Detroit-area robbery crews, we should probably warn you right away: It"s just not a good idea to pick 1837 Buena Vista Street for your big and final score. Take our word for it, walk away.
Sure, it sounds like an easy hit. The address is a home in a run-down section of the city, so there"s nobody around. The house is kind of moldering, too. And, yes, the owner is an old blind man living alone who apparently has a fortune stashed somewhere. But, listen, let this one go.
You won"t? Fine. Then beware, you are walking into the well-plotted trap of Fede Alvarez, who made his Hollywood debut with the reboot of the horror classic "Evil Dead," and returns this month with "Don"t Breathe ." It pits a team of inept burglars against a homeowner who fights back. In that sense, it"s kind of like a twisted "Home Alone" for millennials.
This isn"t a gore-fest or a flick that relies on the supernatural. It"s more a thriller wedded to a horror film. Our trio of would-be predators quickly becomes hunted by the surprisingly spry old man, who happens to be a military veteran and comfortable with all sorts of weapons. Oh, did we mention his rather nasty dog?
Written by Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues, "Don"t Breathe" is almost a throw-back to older horror films. It"s meticulously planned and thrillingly satisfying with a camera always a step ahead if you see an array of sharp tools near the beginning, bet on them being used at some point. Roque Baos" discordant soundtrack manages to capture dread beautifully.
The set-up stars three young Detroiters a brutish Daniel Zovatto, his lovely girlfriend Jane Levy and their smart friend Dylan Minnette. They have bought into that cliche that somehow makes robbers less villainous one last job and they"re out.
"If we do it right, we never have to do it again," the young woman promises. That turns out to be correct, but not in the way she means.
In their way is Stephen Lang, playing the blind guy. He harbors a dirty little secret that the trio soon uncovers and most of the film is spent with everyone rushing about in his claustrophobic home, filled with creaky floorboards and more locks than a Lowe"s. Everyone seems to die multiple times, even the dog.
The plot gets sort of ludicrous by the end right around the time Lang gets to start talking but there were moments at a recent preview where a pin could drop and make more noise than one of the poor burglars trying to do what the movie title demands. You try standing perfectly still while an annoyed vet aims a pistol in your general direction.
So again, robbery crews are strongly advised to avoid 1837 Buena Vista, but movie-goers hoping for a thrill might like to visit. But don"t linger.
"Don"t Breathe," Sony Pictures, Stage 6 and Ghost House release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for "terror, violence, disturbing content and language including sexual references." Running time: 88 minutes. Three stars out of four.
