“best defense in the country” is an overstatment when you’ve played an FCS and G5 team. Washington’s offense isn’t a mirror to ours. They use the read-option / RPO as a supplement, not as a foundation of everything they do which i think is a huge scheme issue for us.
If they didn’t run the read option or RPO stuff a single time, they would be just fine. If we didn’t, we might only have 5 plays to choose from. Their o-line has played better, WR’s are better, QB is better.
