The Crimson defense accounted for six of the day's seven sacks -- which were not really sacks because the quarterbacks wore non-contact jerseys -- with outside linebacker Ryan Anderson and defensive end Jonathan Allen combining for five. ...

Post by: Jamos on April 20, 2014, 06:33:44 AM I truly believe in the "defense wins championships" theory. Most folks are blaming the QBs for the offensive woes yesterday but there were a ton of catchable passes dropped yesterday, including Cooper, that could have made the game a lot different. There were also a lot passes that were poorly thrown as well. I was very pleased with the defense and that's a big step ahead of where this team was after the Oklahoma game. I pretty much expected the offense to be the lesser of the two teams yesterday and unless Sims just had a bad day I really doubt that he will be the starter in September.
