We aren’t doing badly on third or fourth down (24-20) but are spinning our wheels on 1st and 2nd down (55-76) and the primary reason for that is that we are getting stuffed on the run (19-37). We are also getting nothing from kick returns. We returned every one of Louisville’s 11 kick-offs and never got beyond the SU 26 on their own, (on the first one we got to the 35 due to a penalty: our man had been tackled at the 20. For the season have returned 13 kickoffs for 221 yards, exactly 17 yards a return. The opposition has punted 15 times. We have returned only 4 of them for 25 yards, an average of 6.25 yards a return but 1.7 yards per punt.

Our defensive numbers are a fruit salad of apples and oranges. [/QUOTE]
