Look at this from the other side of the ball

Yes, we have not put the ball in the endzone on offense, but we also have given up only two touchdowns in the last 5 games. Not even mighty USC or Texas can say that. Don't get me wrong, we are a long way form being national championship contenders, but our defense sure does give us a heck of a shot.

True. A win is a win, no matter how many more points we score.

I agree 100% about the past games but I just don't think we will win another game this year if our offense only scores 3pts or so......it's crunch time, time for our offense to step up...

Correction: only 1 TD in the last 5 games:

UF-3pts
UM-10 pts (only TD given up in that span)
UT-3pts
USU-3pts
MSU-0pts

No matter what side of the ball I look at, it looks good to me. Remember the old saying "stats are for losers."

Actually we are only .09 points away from being contenders. I see no reason this team is so far away from a NC.

Stupid early JP games... Our team came out still dressed in pajamas and UM took advantage of that in the first half. Or we'd be seeing 0 TD allowed in last 5 games

Actually, that game was even earlier than a JP game. It was the first half of a double header on CBS. It kicked off at 11:00 CDT as opposed to the 11:30 CDT when JP games kickoff. You're right...nobody was awake yet...not the fans, not the refs, and most definitely not the players.
