not necessarily. it's like playing GT with the best Rushing Defense...inherently GT is going to do what they're going to do. they don't change it, they don't stop it, and they do it differently than you're used to.

so even the best rushing defenses give up rushing yards to GT.

it's no different when you play these up tempo passing attacks like BGSU. a good defensive performance against teams like this may be getting timely turnovers, limiting to field goals or making them take long drives so they can't get more possessions....there's plenty of ways to play defense, and just because you can rack up yards, doesn't mean you were effective as an offense, based on the type of defense you were playing.

which is exactly how i would describe our defensive effort against BGSU. against OU, it was different, we were able to get pressure on the QB, we limited the running game, and played all around better pass defense. what we didn't do was limit possesions in the 4th qtr. part of that was our inability to get 1st downs offensively.

bottom line, stats are stats. but they don't tell the story of how you got where you were going, nor do they justify what was done to get there.

the bottom line is...did you get there?

I agree...this is also reflective on ECU against Navy. Playing a wishbone team you prepare for once isn't easy. Like the GT reference. I was at the UT/Oklahoma game and the first 3 quarters were great. 4th quarter was another story offensively and defensively.

Unless there has been a recent rule change, the game is played offense vs defense not defense vs defense or offense vs offense. Just sayin.

This thread op reminds me of the old saying "Don't argue with a idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Three games with different schedules stats for this game mean nothing.
