[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 257849, member: 932"] Sorry to take this thread off topic. Back to the original point...yes, the stats per drive/play on both offense and defense are misunderstood by the vast majority of folks out there...the media more so than anyone. But everyone understands wins and losses, and in that category efficiency stats don't tell the whole story. We lost three games, and I would pin two of the losses on the offense and one on the defense. The D played well enough in the Clemson game that we should have been in the game, and what do we get? The worst offensive performance in CPJ's tenure. But OK, we can chalk that one up to Clemson just being a super power. After that, I blame the Miami loss entirely on the two fumbles returned for TD's. It's pretty much impossible to overcome that. Pitt loss is on the D. We really turned the corner on offense in that game, but the D looked like a wet paper bag. So yeah, we're efficient on offense...and we're 4-3 with two losses due mainly to issues on the offensive side of the ball, IMO. Oh...and BTW, while I love that we won that game in Dublin, we probably should have lost that one too...and if we had, you can bet your sweet @## that loss would have been pinned on the offense as well. So I realize this is a bit of a 180 from what I said above about our defense being the problem...and if you look at stats of any kind you could easily come tot hat conclusion. But honestly, we're really just an inconsistent team that makes too many mistakes. Maybe we're just young, but whatever it is we've got to play a lot better...otherwise we'll be talking about how efficient we were on offense and how bad we were on defense while we're watching everyone else play in December and January.
