Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1422724, member: 2585"] How many points we score has little do with the our defensive performance. I'd bet if we drilled down into each of those big wins the story would be that both sides of the ball played well. Maybe the NW game is an outlier (if I remember correctly that was more of a shoot out). And what of the other wins during the Marrone era? I remember a bunch of white-knuckles (vs Rutgers to get to bowl eligibility). The defense was consistently better than the O during that time. I'll give you that Marrone's game planning always seemed to be spot on. But for whatever reason the O seemed to be wildly inconsistent compared to the D. Shafer was Marrone's best hire and it's not close. [/QUOTE]
