You are making this way too easy for me.It's a trend. Against any offense with a pulse it's been 35+ points and 500+ yards of offense and well over 5 YPP.
- Michigan State has an awesome offense... we held them to 27 points (and two of their TDs came in a second-quarter run in which they had a huge kick return and our offense gave them a short field).
- Washington State scored 31 on us, in a game in which our offense put our D in bad field position all game.
- Arizona only scored 31 on us, and that was a game in which our offense did ZERO favors for our defense. Our D played one bad quarter against 'Zona, but our offense had four bad quarters, continually putting our D in horrible positions.
- UCLA had, what, 14 points or something until we started cycling in backups?
Anyway, those are four of the best five offenses we faced this season -- all of which have serious pulses -- and neither put up "35+" points on us.
You're welcome.
P.S. I'm not saying our defense is WTF awesome, but seriously, some of you guys seem to WANT to hate it despite what actually happens on the field.
