you aren't going to be as motivated to give that extra bit of effort. Nate Meikle said this very thing on the pre-game for Wisconsin. I put more value in what he says than CBer.

Patience right now is definitely the right thing - imho , if the team doesn't

There needs to be increased scrutiny on every single coach at this point.

How about the married coaches?

My take: offenses issues are jimmys and joes, defense is scheme/ game plan

youngbuck

9/25/17 12:05pm

I don't know what is more frustrating the defense

Most of us are in the "give the staff time" camp.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 12:06pm

Likewise the offense was good enough to beat utah

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 12:35pm

Um...no it wasn't. 13 points wins very few games.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 12:51pm

Yeah 3xcept we scored another td..the offense did ..a player

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 1:10pm

Like clockwork.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 2:27pm

And that isn't the same argument.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 2:33pm

For this who don't know what good defense looks like when your offense is

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 1:12pm

I want them to stop lsu on LSU's first two drives

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 12:59pm

Uh...offense gets more than 38 plays if they get first downs.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 1:08pm

You underestimate the importance of a defense getting a 3 and out

youngbuck

9/25/17 3:40pm

That still doesn't excuse 10 ppg.

crazY

9/25/17 3:50pm

Nobody says that, but the point some of us is making

youngbuck

9/25/17 4:06pm

If I have given anyone the impression that the defense has been great let me be

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 5:14pm

Not my excuses

youngbuck

9/25/17 7:30pm

I want to see this defense when the offense can string together drives

HuskerCoug

9/25/17 12:07pm

Shouldnt impact the d..but the offense did vs utah.

CarolinaCoug

Watch Clemson vs BC from Saturday..

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 1:20pm

No one is claiming our D is elite. It is average at best.

RalphWiggam

9/25/17 2:28pm

That's the problem D isn't average at best it's one of the worst in all of cfb

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 4:21pm

The D kept the team in a lot of games last year and they earned some patience

HuskerCoug

9/25/17 4:31pm

71st ranked passing defense last year. Thanks to turnovers yes..

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 4:57pm

Our defense is ranked 37th when adjusted for opponent difficulty.

BeefNoodleSoup

Our defense has played pretty well given the position that the offense

smokymountainrain

9/25/17 12:24pm

They really haven't played that well though. LSU did whatever they wanted until

cougaman

9/25/17 12:29pm

I agree. That's why I made it relative to the offense.

crazY

9/25/17 12:39pm

Go watch lsu and wiscy first two possessions then. Neither

CarolinaCoug

9/25/17 1:04pm

That doesn't excuse fewer than 10 ppg.

crazY

9/25/17 2:42pm

Nope nor is less than 10 ppg an excuse for 117th ranked Defense.

How are our 1st half defenses? Offense keeps 'em on the field too long IMO.

Revolution

9/25/17 12:46pm

BYU's defense is defending only 1 play per game more than the NCAA average

Indy Coug

9/25/17 12:48pm

You answered your own questions gob watch lsu and wiscy first two posessions..
