Offense is good. It has its great days, good days and bad days. But overall the good and great far outnumber the bad.

Our D has chronic bad issues with very seldom good or great games. 1 or 2 a year would be considered good or great.

This Utah state team scored 7 against Weber with its starting QB. We gave up 26 to them with a backup QB, AND they turned the ball over 3 times and still scored 19 more than they did on Weber.

No question our offense didn’t olay it’s best game, but slows days on offense are far outnumbered by the good days

If you watch the Oregon game and this game and compare it to the Utah game from last year or the baylor game this year, you will see two totally different defensive schemes, personnel usage, alignments and play calling.

We would complain way less if we saw that approach far more often even if it didn’t result in a win every time. At least we would know our coordinators are giving us a chance.

Tuiakis D makes it clear he doesn’t trust our DBs and that he is scared to death of giving up big plays in the passing game. But he’s too stupid to realize creating pressure or allowing less time results in forcing more bad plays or turnovers for the offense.

He designs his entire defense around expecting the team were playing to throw the ball. Then, when we line up with three down lineman and five total in the box, teams inevitably decide well heck we should just run the ball for 8 yards per carry, because it’s obvious they aren’t giving any thought to stopping the run.

Then 3/4 into the game and seven 15 play drives later, we finally decide that maybe we should adjust.l to stop the run. Then after the game we say well we were expecting them to throw. This happens nearly every game and it’s tiring

And furthermore our alignments just like Riddick said last night, leave us out leverage and totally susceptible to the run without any chance of stopping it especially when they pull or do trap blocks.
