Our offense has been very disappointing. But when we have an 8 point lead


over Notre Dame with 3:55 left before we kick off to them and lose in regulation, I look at our defense. When we have a nine point lead with less than six minutes left against Syracuse before kickoff, I look at special teams and defense. Remember, we completed one pass while leading 36-34 to pick up a first down. That was terribly risky ( remember what WVA had happen to them versus us). This pattern of blowing leads very late with very little resistance is the most disappointing thing to me. When is someone going to make a big play? My gosh, send the house on first down. If we get a big play we likely will win. If they get a big play, at least we have time to come back. More than 19 seconds. Set the tone on defense with aggressive play.
