And in theory I agree with what you are saying. But the Clemson game I used as an example of how our Defense was on the field a lot and the Offense was 3 and out most of the game and the defense only gave up 26 points. The response I got was "Clemson let up off the gas." I can tell you from...

What is your opinion on Total Offense and Total Defense? Is this a useless or misleading stat? Currently we are 25th in Total Defense and 111th in Total Offense.

I really thought after that game we would have turned the corner.... :(

Exactly. I've not always liked everything that CPJ does, BUT I love that he plays to win.

:( I'm not a smart man but I know what PPD is....

I think more so the Pitt was a winnable game in comparison to the Miami game. We didn't even give ourselves a chance on offense in the Miami game. Pitt game was dumb luck.

I liked the call. It was actually more smart than gutsy. We just didn't execute.

Agree to disagree.

And they were trying to score on their last possession of the game too.

Wow. I'm thoroughly at a loss....

So, what is your overall point actually?

Which in turn means we are not giving up big plays. We make the offense earn it.

Yep. We sure did.

Exactly.

I'm not taking up for our Defense and saying its great. I'm taking up for our Defense and saying its not as bad as certain people suggest. That's all. Its obvious we need improvement on both sides.

o_O LOL

But don't you see that the PPD is misleading? We have less possessions than everyone else you are looking at/comparing. And typically we have less turnovers and go for it on 4th and short in situations other teams would not. The offense we run in nature scores more on possessions than a...

Clemson Game: Out of 11 total possessions the GT offense scored 1 time. Out of 12 total possessions the Clemson offense scored 4 times. A field goal in the second half. Pretty good defense against the best offensive team on our schedule in a game where our offense was the worst its been in...

I'm guessing you missed the Clemson and Miami games. The Defense was the reason it wasn't worse.

28-35 imo. If the Defense is averaging 19.8 per game they are giving up then I don't think its a lot to ask 28 to 35 on average from the offense. Scoring on 4 to 5 out of 6 or 7 possessions doesn't qualify a "if we have the best offense in the country" That's averaging and on average that...
