    Jimmy's D is hardly an issue. Leading the conference in PPG allowed (19.7) despite all the short fields they've been given. Yeah, they get worn down throughout games and start getting gashed like clockwork but can you blame them? You gotta be @GrandpaSankey to not see where the issues are.

    The easiest giveaway that you’re dealing with an idiot is if they use PPG as their metric.
    Raw stats like PPG are horseshit in a sport that has a wildly variable 120+ teams. I thought this was well established and widely accepted for the last 10+ years, or at least since the advent of ADVANCED METRICS, but I'm not surprised to see that @CallMeBigErn is once again behind the curve on this one.
    A great defense doesn’t give up the run so easily. This defense is death by a thousand cuts. They clearly aren’t good enough on the interior to play this scheme.

    Neanderthals. If you have an offense that averages 30 ppg and a defense that gives up 19 ppg, you generally win more games than when your offense is averaging 22 and your defense gives up 19 ppg.

    You disagree that the offense is the main problem or are you completely missing the point?

    Both the offense and defense are the problem. The offense is just historically bad. Special teams are awful too.

    Furthermore, @GreenRiverGatorz , UW is 14th nationally in your futuristic hyper-advanced defensive FEI ratings. Good try.

    The defense is good. It’s not great and far from elite.

    Just imagine if the two best teams you played could actually throw the ball. Some of the passing numbers are being bolstered from an unprecedented schedule of bad passers.

    Imagine the best passer on any given year is Chase Garbers. That doesn’t come around often.
