re: What's worse? Great offense and no defense, or great defense and no offense?

I know the conventional wisdom is that defense > offense here, but I prefer a great offense. I think it's more reliable to count on college offenses ruining their own drives with penalties, botched execution, etc. to slow themselves down enough for an elite offense to win. When you have a bad offense, you can't count on ANYTHING to result in points.

Basically it's easier for a great offense to punish mistakes than a great defense, because even if the defense forces a turnover, a bad offense can still negate any advantage the turnover causes.
