True. I think I remember that we had the most snaps on defense out of all the teams in the Pac-10. You would think that there would be plenty to go around with as fast as the offense scores
The most in the country, just over 1000 defensive snaps including the bowl game.
I am sure a lot of that can be blamed on our offense, but our defense certainly didn't do themselves any favors with their performance on 3rd down.

I agree. The offense scored so quickly many times which gave the opponent the ball more often, however the big thing that stands out was the defense giving up first downs a lot on third and long situations.

I know what you mean. It kills me to see the other team in 3rd and 7 and just know that we are going to give them at least 8 (with a 5 yard cushion on the WR's).
