How will Dan Lanning and Oregon slow down Washington? Can North Carolina win the ACC? And what's the best conference in college football?
ESPN insiders Heather Dinich and Adam Rittenberg tackle all that and more, including their upset picks, in this week's roundtable.Oregon coach Dan Lanning noted several keys, including the matchup between the Ducks' DBs and Washington's wideouts; scoring opportunities through special teams ; and which defense will be able to create more stops.
One coach noticed they move their defensive linemen post-snap fairly often, so their run fits for their linebackers and support defenders aren't clearly defined, and that causes them to be out of position sometimes."They are an athletic and twitchy defense, but when individual guys are put at the point of attack to make tackles, they aren't consistent with making them," one coach said.
You can have the SEC this week. You won't see me pick against Bama in this space again this season. I'm still going bold, though. UCLA -- yes that UCLA -- is playing elite defense. No. 2 nationally in rushing defense, No. 5 in total defense and tied for No. 8 in scoring defense . That's exactly what they'll need to slow down D.J. Uiagalelei and the Beavers.
Lynn, the 33-year-old son of former Chargers coach Anthony Lynn, had never coached in college and streamlined his approach, since players have less time for meetings and walkthroughs. He also credited coach Chip Kelly for having the defensive line and outside linebackers meet together. UCLA has 18 sacks, 44 tackles for loss and 26 QB hurries.
"It's one thing to practice hard and to go full speed, and another thing to learn the details and the depths and the layers, not only of defense but to learn offense," OU defensive coordinator Ted Roof told me."To learn conceptually, he's done that and he's playing fast because he knows what to do, how to do it and can anticipate offensively what may happen.
