Kiffin said that he decided to play through our defense in the fourth quarter. With some teams, this is a sound, winning strategy! However, if your punter averages less than 40 yards, you are putting your defense in a bind because the opposing team still gets excellent field position.

Playing thru our defense with our poor punter proved to be a very poor coaching strategy. Surprised that Kiffin didn’t realize the fallacy of his decision.

Idk why he would do this. Blake Baker’s defenses have never won us a football game.

You can’t coach and play for the players

He has produced two first round picks and a third round pick at QB accept that Levitt is the fricking problem

The offense was turning the ball over left and right. He thought his defense was going to win the game

Field position be damned, they would have marched down the field on us from their 1 yard line.

Leavitt doesn't care about winning. He's a loser.

They would have today if we won. A defense will never win a football game when you give the other team 4 chances to get a TD with the bonus of starting at the 50 yard line.

No. But any time we need 1 more crucial stop at the end of the game, Baker’s defenses find a way to melt down. This is not debatable. It happens every single time. When the offense fails like they did tonight, his defense can’t get the stop at the end to win the game.

Also dumb because when you put them right back on the field four straight times they're exhausted right when you need them most.

Then it falls squarely on him considering the defense has let us down every time against good teams this year

He has made several poor coaching decisions this season that have nothing to do with personnel or being his first year - just poor decisions and that’s concerning.

Why not play complimentary football....move the ball AND defend. Why choose one
