Offense has had arguably higher highs but they have certainly had lower lows. And the evidence of the depths of the lows are our only two losses.
There is no “returning the favor” by saving your offense from a 6-turnover game.

And when was the last time any defense has won the game when we had 6 turnovers on offense?
