I keep reading articles about bad offense. I agree it needs to improve, and I loved Chip Kelly's offense, but you guys need to realize something: we lost some big games because we were out physicaled. What Mario Cristobal is building is a physical team capable of winning a NATIONAL championship. Even though the offense was out physical-ed and predictable at times this year, we lost because the defense sucked. With several NFL opt-outs and a few key injuries, the defense was bad. The defense gave up more than 30 points a game, and looked confused at times. Yes, we were the youngest team in college football this year, but the defense SUCKED this year. Why does no one want to talk about that? Yes, Chip Kelly's teams were fun to watch, but we couldn't beat LSU, Auburn or Ohio State, something it is obvious that Cristobal is building for. We will never be good enough until we improve the defense. We can't allow the Beavers 41 points, I don't care how good they are on offense. Yeah, Jefferson is a great back who torched us for 226 yards, (held him to 82 last year with a much better defense) but we made their quarterback look great, and I'm sorry, he's not! I could go on and on (too late!) We won't improve as a team until the DEFENSE improves, yet no-one seems to want to discuss that. C'mon, man!
