It’s unfortunate that nobody keeps a points off turnovers stat that shows how many points a defense surrenders as a direct result of their own offense turning the ball over. It’s great to say “hey they allowed x points” but how many of those points were gifts from the offense? Just for example...

I think in the big picture, the Lashlee hire is the best move this program has made in at least a decade. The King transfer just makes the transition easier. Lashlee's first year at SMU wasn't great working with the available quarterback talent (there was none) but bringing in Buchelle for the...

Long story short: Defense is really good but can improve in certain areas. Offense is garbage and needs to improve in every area. If the defense stays at the same level and the offense improves, the team will be significantly better.

The fact that we can remember each and every play that the defense blew shows you just how rare they mess up. Like I said earlier, if you were to list ever time the offense blew it, you'd need a 20 page thread. Bold prediction: The defense will slip a bit in total yards and possibly passing...

Even the best defenses in the world would have a hard time keeping a team that's on the ten from getting any points. Unless you force a turnover, you're still giving up an easy, chip shot, go ahead field goal. Which is part of the main issue when we complain about the defense. We expect the...

The run defense is a victim of it’s own design. Fans want a pressuring front that prioritizes penetration and TFLs. That’s what we got. Unfortunately, when the defensive line is playing the run on the way to the quarterback, it leaves a ton of pressure on the back seven to clean up mistakes...
