[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 89020, member: 195"] I'm not sure that I understand what you mean by these two claims in the first sentence: "Now I know there's no excuse to give up points just because something bad happens and the other team has a short field" AND "but when you're offense/special teams is setting up drives like this, you should pretty much expect to give up about 31 points" It seems to me that these two claims contradict one another. If you are saying that we should expect to give up all the points we did given Duke's starting field position, how is that not using "a short field" as an excuse for giving up the points? Why is it unrealistic to think that we could have held more than one of them to a FG rather than a TD? Also, the first down resulting from lining-up offsides on the punt was at the Duke 36, so you're counting 64 yards as a long field too? I appreciate wanting to be defensive about our defense. Good for you. Still, all kinds of football games go on with various starting field position, and giving up 3.7 points/drive is extraordinarily bad. I agree that our offense had a bad game getting scores, but blaming the offense for only getting field goals while giving a pass to our D for giving up TDs seems odd to me. [/QUOTE]
