watch sometimes. We've had a couple at UVa and, unless their willing to put their complete and unbridled trust in their OC, the offense starts degenerating into just running between the tackles. It's like "we've got to play conservatively to give the defense some rest", while coaches like Mike Leach seem to have the attitude of "Defense is semi-optional because we can outscore just about anybody (except UCLA last night)." Mendenhall (who is a defensive-minded coach having been a DB for Oregon St.) trusts Anae (the OC) and Beck (the QB coach) enough that he doesn't stick his nose into what they're trying to do.
