Hi, Gopher nation.
I am curious as to what you think of your late DC, Ted Roof. Watching the Auburn spring game (linked in my sig), our defense looked absolutely terrible. Our freakin' roster is filled with 4* and 5* players, so what I saw was totally unacceptable. Albeit, we weren't using our first team the majority of the time (and our five most vital 5* starters were benched to get the offense in the groove), but there is no reason for holes to be opened up like that. We were also using a fair amount of walk-ons, but allowing the RB to sprint 70 yards to the endzone untouched is not Auburn football.
I'd appreciate an objective, honest assessment if possible. Do you want him back? Are you glad he's gone? I know he has an aggressive style much like Joe Kines, but were his blitz packages successful? Did he disguise his coverages well enough to fool the opposing QB? I know nothing about the defensive talent that Minnesota contains, so how did he use the talent to his advantage?
Sorry for the question, but I am ignorant to Big Ten football, and I'd greatly appreciate an unbiased, Gopher opinion.
Thanks in advance.
