Hatter continues to refuse to post the actual rankings of those pass defenses. And when you take away the run, you need to rely on a pass defense that is often shorthanded due to run support. So, if the pass defense is already poorly ranked, then you would think Golden Boy could pick them apart. No?
This football thing seems to confuse you. If a team takes the run away, then the offense becomes one dimensional, therefore leaving the offense with nothing else left but to throw the ball (something that even a bad passing defense can take advantage of - see ku). Freeman played against better overall defenses in conference and won 4 games - and in 3 of those games he was damn near the major part of winning (UT, OSU, CU). KM on the other hand, lead his team to 2 conference wins against far worse defenses.
