will blame passing game more than defense and ST...look where our defense was ranked compared to our passing offense


What? Our pass defense was 80th in opponents pass completions per game and 57t in opponents passing yards per game.
Our defense gave up 20 points to all hut 3 teams and one of those teams scored 19 points.

Our defense was 40th in opponents points per play.
Our offense was 17th in the country in points per play.
Our defense was 69th in opponents yards per point
Our offense 32nd in yards per point.
Our defense was 74th in opponents red zone scoring %
Our offense was 54th in red zone scoring %

Our passing efficiency was definitely an issue but our defense and special teams were bad.
We gave up 22 points to eastern michigan.
We gave up 24 points to a syracuse team that started a 5th string walk on at qb. He was the first qb in syracuse history to throw 3 tds in one half against a top 10 opp.

lets take a look at the main stats...

Offense
Total-58
Passing-108
Rushing-15
Scoring-44

Defense
Total-10
Passing-24
Rushing-15
Scoring-41

The defense was weaker than it has been but STILL the strength of our team. Just imagine how much better their defensive stats would be with a better offense that would keep them off the field.
