Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1216723, member: 2265"] Gee, you had to bring back that nightmare? As I recall, Pugh missed the first four games of the season. His first game back was Rutgers and he slipped on the blocked FG that cost us the game. Our best lineman slipping - that was the story of the whole season. In the first 4 games we scored an average of 27 points without Pugh. In the next 3 games, presumably when we were healthy, we averaged 34. During the 7 game losing streak we averaged 16.2. It certainly seems as if the injuries really told the story of the season. Anyway, I struggle with the degree to which we disintegrated this year. This year there were 9 games in which we did not score more than 20 points and 5 games in which we scored 10 or less. In other words, bad all year. Injuries do not seem to explain everything, but we will never know for sure. Most likely they were the primary reason, but probably not the only one. [/QUOTE]
