Defense been balling all season but with this offense you would never know especially looking at the stat sheet. Dre, I know the offense stinks and has all year, and I know it has an effect on the D, but too many want to give the D a pass. They are average at best, and have given up huge total yardage games all season long, and I’m talking teams like Bg and Miami, before the point where they would be tired by too many 3 and outs by the horrible offense. They DO bear some blame.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard for ANY defense to have an impact when the offense keeps going 3 and out not giving the Defense time to breathe. Like @Blue & Gold said just now Akron just scored their 1st touchdown in 11 quarters. Edited November 23, 2018 by dre22era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Saturday I sat in person and watched Ohio State give up 50+ points to Maryland and they gave up 49 to Purdue. That same Akron Defense shut down a Big Ten Team (Northwestern) who is playing either Ohio State or Michigan in the Championship. Either you clearly live in a cave tucked away in Summit County or you flat out don't watch football at all.

Blue & Gold Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Our OL is not good. But in year 7 that’s on the coaches. It’s not a viable excuse for a pathetic offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you clearly live in a cave tucked away in Summit County or you flat out don't watch football at all. One game against a B10 school does not make season, nor does OSU vs. Maryland. Okay Mr. I Watch So Much Football expert, did you not watch Buffalo kick our D’s Butt? Miami? A pathetic BGSU? You are blind if you think this D even is in the top half of the MAC. They just gave up over 200 yards i the first half for cripes sake, once again, I’m not blaming them, just trying to say those who think this D is stellar, may be over stating it. A “really good” D makes stops even when the offense is struggling, and we don’t even hit the .500 mark in that category. They’re all we have, so we tend to give them a pass, but they don’t make the big stop when they need to. Watch the replay of the Buffalo game, the Miami game, the Northern Illinois game, the Bowling Green game, the. Tell me how many meaningful stops they made.

Earlier in the season I tended to think the D was playing pretty well what with the NW game. I know they have had some injuries. But, even with the pathetic offense hanging them out they give up too many big plays and can't get off the field. Linebacker play is not nearly as strong now. UG seems to disappear at times. They manage some sacks but again are way too vulnerable to the run. The D-line hasn't been all that good all season. Next year could be even worse on that side of the ball with graduations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Just got home and started watching the game on DVR. Wish I had read the thread first, would have saved me some indigestion. Somewhere iCoach is snickering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
