Difference between offense and defense in football

However, in just 12 games before getting benched, Wentz, the offense and Pederson didn’t appear to be on the same page, which included many injuries across the offensive line, as the signal caller finished with 2,670 yards, 16 touchdowns, 15 interceptions and a 57.4% completion percentage. … [Read more...] about Report: Florida offensive coordinator Brian Johnson hired by Philadelphia Eagles

Offensive line: Between injuries and COVID-19, this was a tough year on the line, which had the original starting five just twice (the opener and the finale). Center Colby Pursell missed three games due to injury; guard Chance Lytle missed two after breaking his leg and guard/center Kary Kutsch missed two because of COVID-19 protocols. Despite all of that, this group played well. Left tackle Will Sherman was second-team all-conference, while right tackle Frank Fillip and guard Casey Roddick were solid all season. When healthy, Pursell, Kutsch and Lytle played well, as did Kanan Ray off the bench. This is a group that paved the way for Broussard’s big season and allowed just 1.17 sacks per game (second-best in the Pac-12 and 10th nationally). Grade: A-minus. … [Read more...] about CU Buffs football 2020 season review: Offense

Defensive line: This was expected to be an area of strength for the Buffs this season, and the group played well for the most part. Although CU wound up ninth in the Pac-12 in rushing defense (181.17 yards per game), 28 percent of the rushing yards the Buffs allowed came in the Alamo Bowl, when CU was missing two of its key players up front, Terrance Lang and Jalen Sami. During the regular season, the Buffs were fifth against the run. Defensive end Mustafa Johnson was exceptional throughout the year and finished with three sacks. Lang posted five tackles for loss at the other end spot. At nose tackle, Jordan became a starter and teamed with Sami to do a nice job in the middle.  That foursome took the bulk of the playing time, but Na’im Rodman and Jeremiah Doss provided solid depth off the bench. Grade: B. … [Read more...] about CU Buffs football 2020 season review: Defense
