[QUOTE="smathis30, post: 457095, member: 1803"] In 2017, the average team allowed 14.3 yards per point. If this was to translate to todays game, we would have the following: USF-426 yards ->29.8 expected points. Defense points allowed: 35. So 5 points of underperformance GT->602 yards ->42 expected points. Offense points scored: 38. So 4 points of underperformance. Fact is that both sides of the ball underperformed roughly the same. Its easy to pin it on the D as USF made better adjustments in the second half, but when you look at just yards, it doesn't paint a complete picture. ST definitely cost us a game (thats like what, the 8th time in 3 years?) Through turnovers, UCF had 11 yards of offense in vain (2%) GT had 56 (9%) At the end of the day, the defense only allowed 1TD on 5 real drives in the first half, and that should have kept the offense in the game. Both teams scored the same number of TDs on offense. Granted, has USF had two more drives instead of ST-free TDs, this might be a different story. Everyone has their frustrations when TQM came back in, but he's the starter for a reason. I didn't like expanding the playbook when he was in when we averaging something like 8 ypc for those 3 or so drives he was in. Glad TQM came back in with a fire to win though. Can't teach that.
