Whether it has been -2 or -3 in the turnover battle or only scoring 17 against K State, the offense has done a lot to leave the defense no margin for error. Every mistake they make is magnified knowing the offense is going to struggle making up for it. While this is not GP’s best defense ever, I think it would be more that serviceable is we had a good offense.
Glad someone gets it. As bad as our defense has looked by TCU standards, its still a Top 15 defense by national standards. Not everything exists in a vacuum. We are so used to having dominating defenses that any time we give up a score its hell on earth around here.
The days of holding 5 straight MWC opponents to 7 points or less are gone. The game is different. Teams give up points and big plays these days. Even teams with traditionally strong defenses like Alabama, Clemson and LSU have been giving up points this year. Relative to other teams, our defense is still playing pretty well. Its just that its magnified because our offense can not make enough plays and we always seem to be playing from behind.
