Saban and Beilema whining about it is lame. Somehow LSU shut down Oregon. So has Stanford. Other "speed" teams have gotten shut down.

That being said, Rich Rod is wrong.....a lot of fans do want to see at least defense played. Especially since he couldn't put together a defense worth a damn in the past, allowing UM to be one of the very worst in all of college football. I don't think I've seen a coach do less with more than the RR years at UM. Really felt bad for the players there that got screwed by his crappy coaching staff, and it wasn't the various DCs he brought in (who consequently went on to success elsewhere), it was his cronies and his meddling and piss-poor teaching that did it. Not to mention he absolutely cratered UM recruiting.
Screw RR as a head coach. He may be a really nice guy, but he sucks when it comes to running a program.
