Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3164328, member: 405"] Yes, the defense quit. They have also been playing reasonably well. Not All American, but when you're holding teams to the teens and twenties, and they're still generating turnovers, well, the defense has pretty much done their jobs. Don't get me wrong. Our fundamentals remain poor, and they have given up a few times this year. But with that offense, it's easy to get down. We've gone from scoring 40 points a game last year to 20 points a game this year, and ask yourself, how much of our offensive production, statistically, has come in garbage time? Our offense seldom makes plays when the game is still in doubt. They tend to make things look respectable after the game has already been lost. It's like pitching for a team that can't hit. The pressure of throwing a shutout to have a chance to win gets to you after a while. [/QUOTE]
