When does "great offense" equal crappy defense?

Worry not, tech's got this taken care of next week.

Your lips to God’s ears. I’ll be happy to play the transitive property game should that come to pass.

Jim Knowles left Okie State and it seems he brought his defense with him, literally.

The Cowboys and Central TSUN each gained over 500 yards on offense as the Pokes held off the Chips, 58-44 in Stillwater.

Half of the 124 points were scored in the 4th quarter.

Score 40 in the 4th...

And lose.

Doesn't seem real.

I don't know if that's ever happened before, but how could it? Put up a 40 burger in the 4th quarter and still lose?

When teams with a combined record of 10-8 put up 20 touchdowns and zero punts, that is the very definition of crappy defense.

SMU 77
Houston 63

Houston QB recap:

Tune's production was on another level Saturday, combining for over 600 yards of total offense and eight touchdowns. Somehow this was not enough to get the win, nor was it enough to be the most productive quarterback in the game, as SMU's Tanner Mordecai scored 10 total touchdowns.

Incarnate Word at Sacramento State in the FCS quarterfinals. Last team with the ball wins, 59-56 ICW in the 4th quarter.

Incarnate Word's QB was a freshman at LSU in 2016. He looks like a man against boys, because he is.

Sacramento State tried two onside kicks in the 4th quarter and recovered both. They've run 105 plays. Normally, they'd be cruising, but this game is not normal.

It's 63-59, Sac State. Incarnate Word has run only 16 plays in the second half yet they've scored 31 points. I'll be more surprised if they don't score, than if they do.

 

[Jake]

Incarnate Word scores with 27 seconds left to win 66-63, because of course they did in this game.

This was the highest scoring game in FCS playoff history.

Isn't incarnate word an oxymoron?

Meanwhile, one of the complaints against Woody was that his defense never got to practice against an offense that passed the ball first. Get up two scores in the second half and woody’s teams wouldn’t have the time to score. It occasionally worked and woody was helped by the fact that Purdue and Northwestern were the only pass first teams he faced until the Rose Bowl opponents.

So reverse the argument now. Day is clearly pass first so how often does the defense get to practice against stopping the run?

just a thought.

LSU
East Mississippi Community College

Edit to Add: he actually signed with Les Miles. just to show how long ago he was at LSU.

When you're the first NFL team in 57 years to allow 70 points, you end up here.
