Just once, when Golden inevitably mentions that we had the 15th-ranked total defense in the country this year, I'd like an interviewer to cut him off and point out his hypocrisy.
Yards didn't matter in previous seasons when our total defense was ranked in the 100s. But now that we allowed 32.5 points per game in 6 losses, ranked in the 80s in second half scoring defense, and ranked in the 100s in fourth quarter scoring defense, suddenly total defense is a relevant statistic according to Golden.
And how about all those sack, interception, and turnovers forced numbers he rattled off in his season-closing presser a year ago? When he infamously mentioned those numbers were all trending up to defend his abomination of a defense? They trended back down this year, yet no one ever asks about him this type of s***.
