If Ron Roberts’ “Creeper” defense (simulated pressures or “replace blitzes”) keeps up at its pace against SEC defenses, AU will overachieve the 7 win O/U.
This Saturday is a bona fide test of the now beaten dead horse called “proof of concept” that it’s time to dismount.
Activate pressure testing of Roberts’ D by Petrino and Weigman.
Three games in, NCAA stats:
AU is # 1 nationally in red zone defense at .429
AU is # 4 nationally in 3rd down conversion defense. .244
AU is 14th nationally in total defense, holding opponents to 264 ypg, one spot ahead of UGA at 15th.
