If the offense ever gets fixed it will be just in time for the defense to start really sucking

Plus Stanford could have scored 70 if they needed to

The defense is good...BUT they've been strung out by the inept offense so may times it is obvious they have quit.
This defense with a slightly below average offense is a 1 loss team at worst this year. -
Before yesterday the defense was 12th in one of the metrics football outsiders uses and I think 14 or 16 in ESPN's FPI. That is now 22nd. Considering the weak offenses left on the schedule, the defense will finish in the top 15.PurpleJ said:It's hard to call a defense good when they've only stopped one team in conference, drunk Sark's Trojans. RIP.
Cal - 30 points, 28 first downs, 481 yards, 10-20 on 3rd
USC - 12 points, 20 first downs, 346 yards, 1-13 on 3rd (crucial!)
Oregon - 26 points, 21 first downs, 442 yards, 9-18 on 3rd
Stanford - 30 points, 25 first downs, 478 yards, 6-14 on 3rd
So they usually give up 30 points, 450 yards and allow about 50% on 3rd down.
That isn't good. And people were actually calling them "great" after the Cal game. Boggles my mind. A good defense can win games in spite of an offense. An average defense will do enough to keep the scoreline respectable. This defense is average, with the potential to be good next year. They are not good yet.
You want to see a good defense, go watch my Crimson Tide. That is a good defense.
That's a good, borderline very good defense. If it had another good safety (instead of Clay, Turner, etc) it would be top 10 and a great defense. -
I know your post was meant to convey that we're a shit team that can't stop anyone because they average 30 points against us and are 50% on 3rd downs but...PurpleJ said:Cal - 30 points, 28 first downs, 481 yards, 10-20 on 3rd

Cal is averaging 31.4 points against Power 5 teams, we held them to 30
USC is averaging 31.6 points against Power 5 teams, we held them to 12
Oregon is averaging 29.4 points against Power 5 teams, we held them to 26
Stanford is averaging 38.5 points against Power 5 teams, we held them to 31
And all this with the worst offense at UW since 2008.
We aren't a Top 10 defense in the country, but we're currently holding all of our opponents to less than their average scoring offense against Power 5 schools. -

Most ignorant post ever laid down in this shitpit. Take a bow Houston, then stay there while Freemont puts a thorough buttfuckin to you . This is typical dawgman post-loss panic language, with zero understanding of the big picture. Pete has a good football team a brewin. Wait it out cunt, I said 3-5 years.

They are a pretty good to very good Pac 12 defense. I remember hearing Utah's defense was pretty good and a slightly buzzed SC team skullfucked them all over the field.
Perspective. Any offensive help at all and they would be damn good -
How can you remotely believe that?ThomasFremont said:The defense is good...BUT they've been strung out by the inept offense so may times it is obvious they have quit.

Oregon and Stanford both would have scored more points if needed. The defense is only looking good to idiots like yourself because the offense is so horrid, opposing teams let up in the second half.
