re: This game cements it.

Also, look at our team this year versus the past couple. We've had some very good defenses recently and solid offense = 3 straight 11 win seasons. This year, most prolific offense in school history, awful defense = 7 win season. The point is we scored a lot of points, but because we couldn't get a stop, we lost a lot more games because we got outscored. In the past, we could consistently get stops, and either get points on defense, or at least give our offense another scoring opportunity while denying the opponent one.
