Alabama and Clemson outscored their opponents on New Years Eve, but they did so because of their dominate defenses. Cliche or not there really is something to the saying, "Defense Wins Championships." However, what makes these two team's defenses so dangerous and why has the Hokies defense slumped as of late? Well, the answer to both questions is the same and it is executing effective schemes with stellar linebacker and defensive line play. Before discussing what corrections Bud Foster needs to make moving forward I want to breakdown the Alabama and Clemson defensive schemes to highlight why they are so efficient.
Defense Wins Championships.
