[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 439128, member: 195"] Okay You are right about the scoring, but I don't understand the logic of your second paragraph. We don't play our games against some Generic Opposition with equal offense and defense. If you want to be reasonable, then you have to compare your team's performance to what other teams are doing against the same opponent. In 2017, Duke averaged 16.4 points/ACC (not GT) game on offense and allowed on average 23.4 point/ACC (not GT) game on defense. When GT offense scores nearly the opponent's game average in the first half but its defense allows more than the opponent's game average in the first half, then that is an indicator that the defense is doing more poorly than the offense compared to other ACC teams vs Duke. GT's Offense: 1st Half: TD, TD, Int, TD (missed P.A.T) 2nd Half: Punt, Punt, Downs, Downs, Punt Duke's Offense: 1st Half: FG, TD, FG, TD 2nd Half: TD, FG, TD, Punt, TD We let a team that averaged 16 ppg vs. non-GT ACC score on every single possession but one. The week before they played us, they played Army who also scored 3 TD's, 2 from scrimmage and a punt return TD, in the first half. They also held Army scoreless in the second half. The difference? Army allowed them 10 pts in the first half and 6 pts in the second half. So, again, I'm not saying that our offense didn't play worse than we should expect, but I am saying that to think the blame is anywhere close to being equally on offense and defense is not realistic imo.
