Magnus –
I don’t think race plays much of a role with the Heisman. I DO think it plays some role in the size of the collective sports media boner for Tebow, as versus the much smaller boner that popped up for VY.
I get your point, overall.

What are the season results when Mack has had top 10 offenses?
Without looking at numbers I would guess that the 2004 team would lend creedence to the theory that elite offense has suited Mack better.
I would contend, however, that we haven’t had a shut-down defense as good as Ohio St. 2005 or 2001 that might win a championship with a less than stellar offense. The 2001 defense was less than an immovable object.

Using similar criteria as the defense, 2005 was the only year Texas was ranked in the top ten in both total offense and scoring offense.
2004 was top ten in total offense and #13 in scoring offense. It certainly would have been higher if they had unleashed Vince sooner.

Henry James, you’ve detailed something I’ve relayed to other posters-that simply to say “we just need a great defense to win championships” is too simplistic, too wishful thinking with GD at the controls.
You noted that UNC got a grand total of three points in those two FSU contests, and Texas got the one FG vs OU in ‘01. If anything, history indicates we’d just likely see a low scoring loss to OU than a triumph.

in fairness to Greg, though, we haven’t seen nearly the amount of fetal position playcalling starting ‘05 that we had those five straight losses.
Nordberg said:
July 24th, 2008 at 7:40 am
That’s true. In rewatching some old games circa 2000-2003, it’s really obvious how much we’ve improved offensively (and regressed defensively). Watching us get our shit packed with Chris Simms, Cedric Benson, Roy Williams, Bo Scaife, etc…. I’d forgotten how depressing that was.
El General said:
July 24th, 2008 at 9:12 am
There was just as much fetal position play calling in 05, it was just that with Vince those plays turned into touchdowns. I mean how hard is it to call a zone option roll out pass where Vince decides whether to hand off run or throw? It is the opposite of a play call. The greates offense in that GD orchestrated was the abdication of decision making.
BrickHorn said:
July 24th, 2008 at 9:48 am
To this day, Chuck insists that the defense was to blame for the 2001 Big XII title game loss, because it was unable to stop CU from scoring in the drives that followed Simms’ interceptions. The defense is also to blame for failing to prevent A&M from burning out the clock in the final drive of the 2006 one-touchdown-at-home-against-a-.500-team embarrassment, for giving up 200+ yards to Adrian Peterson in a 12-0 shutout loss and for running out of gas in the fourth quarter of the 2002 OU game in which our offense had a string of roughly 79 straight 3-and-outs.
When your fans are that stupid, why fire your best buddy just because his job performance is woefully subpar?
SlickStreet said:
July 25th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
El General-one could say that (that GD benefitted tremendously by Vince’s presence). Kinda goes without saying. It’s just one example, but I consider the stark difference approaching halftime vs OU in ‘02 vs ‘05. We had the latter somewhat under control, but the bomb to Pittman in the last moments really stunned ‘em. Stoops later admitted as much. He said it was a backbreaker and caught OU off guard (considering our enormously predictable, protective playcalling for several years). Maybe GD was just setting up OU for that all those other games. ;)
Brick-I’ve many times heard people complain about our defense’s failure in the ‘06 aggie game. And, for whatever reason, Chizik was impotent vs the option.
But to be more reasonable, those posters need to remember without the D at least doing a reasonable job the rest of the game, we don’t have a shot with our shit offense going like it was. Additionally, said D likely pooped out having to hold the fort.
And, in response from those posters, we’ve been reminded about Colt being hurt. Well, it’s obvious he was a shell in the second half. What about the first? Watching him warm up and then seeing him hit nearly all of his passes the first 30 minutes while we had zero points is hard for the apologists to reconcile.
Ripped off on the Sweed call? Maybe. But then remind those guys that we had tremendous field position the first half and still couldn’t get it done.
Speaking of field position, you mention the ‘04 OU game, and that was the best FP anyone could have dreamed about the first half, yet we had that goose egg going into the locker room. Though down only 6-0, it felt like an unscalable mountain. I figured if we couldn’t even get a simple FG after starting with such incredible position time and again, we weren’t going to score.

Bingo. We lost that game 12-7. It’s tough to blame scoring ONCE on a pathetic defense at home with a Big 12 Title Game appearance on the line on the defense.
Beergut said:

I think the 01 loss to Colorado in the Big 12 championship game can be blamed in large part on the defense, although Chris Simms’ turnovers helped.
People forget that Colorado was simply running the ball at will, and they weren’t being stopped. IIRC, they had a play, 34b or something like that, where they kept running right behind Andre Gurode and they kept running it over and over and over again b/c the defense wasn’t stopping it.
Also, wasn’t this the game where Benson was knocked out in a freak accident with Mike Williams?

Beergut,
The D gave up 32 points in that game. Only 10 of those points were scored in the second half. Of the 22 first-half points allowed by the defense, 19 occurred in drives that immediately followed Chris Simms turnovers. The other 7 points were scored by CU’s defense on an interception return.
Take away Simms’ interceptions, and we blow out CU in that game. The D was dominant until a string of turnovers forced them to play with little to no rest and their backs to the goalline, and was really only responsible for 13 of CU’s 39 points.
