Defense Owns Conversation, Offense Wins Championship

Defense is overvalued. Offense controls the clock. Offense manages position. Offense scores points. Simply stated, offense is imperative. Defense cannot win championships. If zero is your score, defense is worthless.

On Thursday, the Florida Gators defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14. They garnered their second BCS national championship. Via ten-plus points, they won their tenth consecutive contest. Conversely, Oklahoma lost their fifth consecutive marquee contest.

When the 2009 BCS National Championship is recounted, inefficiency, sloppiness, and turnovers will be remembered. However, one should not revise. Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin won this title. For one evening, Brandon Spikes and Major Wright merely gnashed their teeth.
