Common theme in all of these games is that our offense couldn't move the ball an inch. Hard to play defense when you are on the field 2/3 of the game. Additionally, of LSU's points 7 came from a 50 yard run with backups in the game, 7 came off of an interception and the rest came from a starting field position of their own 40 yard line or better.
when you are constantly on the field and are gassed because your offense keeps going 3 and out and leaves to defend 40 yards of the field. Its pretty obvious these factors were huge in our defense performance, for you not to consider it shows how short minded you are.

LSU started every drive in the first half in plus territory. and I dont wanna here the excuse they let off the gas. Their Qb was limited and Manny made adjustments.
Wisconsin had 14 points with like 4 minutes left in the 3rd.
BC and GT the only games where I felt like our defense looked lost most of the time.
The other loses were all winnable if the offense could do anything. Even GT and BC games could've been won because of the defense.
there where plenty of pick 6s and situations where the other offense started at least our own 20, so yes im defending it. learn how look at the bigger picture.
GT and BC looked so good because their time of possession was to long because of our ****** offense going 3 and out.

There's anything only two DCords I would want over Diaz. Diaz defense did the best they could do with such a shxtty offense.

It's called the law of averages. We're going to shut down bad teams and good teams are going to do better. It's just how it works. That's why you look at the total body of work. If you take any team and cherry pick their best opponents, their defense will have given up more yards and more points too.

B.C. didn't do much after midway through the second quarter. Both of their scores in the second half was because we put them on a short field.

Not saying the defense played great in those games but how did the offense perform?
Average offense in those games and we likely win them all.

Did you see Murray shook at the start of the game? Sure he got it together after unscrambling his brains and while being down 28-7. Too late for heroics sorry!

GT scored 10 points off Dallas and Thomas fumbled returns in the red zone, we only gave up 17 points outside of that
LSU had a pick 6 right before the half, so 13
And one Wisconsin TD came off a pick that started on our 7 yard line
Can’t blame the D for any of that

You can't adjust or wish away the defensive numbers. They were very, very good and once the sample size of plays defended reaches that number the schedule strength becomes less of a legitimate variable.
We overachieved on defense. Even if we brought everybody back and played the same schedule under identical circumstances I doubt we'd manage the same bottom line.
The personnel is not ideal. That leads to the inconsistency and vulnerability against top foes. Bethel should not be out there for a program with these aspirations. Likewise the Illinois transfer, and I could keep going. Wisconsin's biggest problem was not to laugh once Patchan was out there.
The defensive tackles have to be rugged and elite and high in number. Four options. We got lucky with Willis. Missing out on every targeted recruit for years leaves us in the current predicament.
In the opener it was glaring that our roster was not as big and strong and tough and well conditioned as LSU. Same thing in the finale against Wisconsin. It will be the same issue against Florida next August.
Until we fix that aspect we'll be pushed around in meaningful games no matter how thoroughly we dominate FIU.

In this day and age, when the rules are designed to help the offense, its silly to think you can shut down a good offense. It doesn't help when you have 3 of your first five drives are three and outs against LSU. BC scored on their first 3 drives and didn't do much else the rest of the game. Their other scores were on turnovers deep in our end of the field. The offense certainly didn't help out the defense.

Oh it’s his fault Bama scored 28 points and not OU’s defense? Cool. I thought he was to blame for OU’s 34 points but I didn’t even think about points allowed.
Took him about a full quarter to come to terms with the reality that he wasn't facing a Big 12 defense. Once he adjusted, he was on fire. But they were in too deep a hole at that point.

My point is it is natural for defenses to relax and implement the “bend but don’t break” mindset. There was no way Murray was bringing them back although I will agree Murray is legit.

Gave up over 250 yards to Ironhead Heyward in 1986. Many said we had best team in the country, one of the best ever. We won handily because we could put points on board.

You just bait and switched. Round and Round we go...
Lol....but yes, an offense that gets 6 first downs THE ENTIRE GAME is completely blameless for those 333 yards. If a defense eventually quits, gets tired, or are uninspired,...it's all on the defensive coordinator.
They might as well play offense, defense, and special teams in 3 different stadiums. This sh** isin't even worth arguing after a certain point...
