we have the 4th ranked offense this season

[Davidson Deac II]

We have the second ranked run defense, in terms of yards allowed per carry.  Unfortunately, we are at or near the bottom in pass defense, turnover margin, and Penalties.

With that secondary, why run?

It still goes to show Rivera and McD are really not all that great at defense. Cam is MVP and it's why the offense can be good but no Cam in that secondary or line hurts.

I actually agree with this. He's stressed the need to be in front - so take the ball with your best unit and go score. Instead we give the offense the ball down a score which adds pressure. We need to be the ones setting the tone.

He is gonna stick to his philosophy no matter what. It just shows he still hasn't learned to adapt as a coach. This team is predicated around defense, when that isn't the case. It throws everything out of wack.

lol at people giving shula credit for offense being 4th...

Let me add...the stupidest call to start the game

rivera deferring which all but guaranteed a 7 to zero deficit with that defense

Note to Ron, this 2016 and you do not have 2015 defense 

in the name of god, please stop deferring on the kickoff 

Agreed.

All he cares about is our trash defense.

For the last few games, the offense hasn't started playing till the second half, so why not get the ball first after halftime?
