When it's good, yes. That's why Oregon lost... Ohio state doesn't have the best defense in the country but it was the difference in the NCG.

yep. oregon moved the ball pretty well, they just stalled in the red zone and couldn't convert on 3rd and 4th downs. ohio state's defense wasn't dominant and they gave up yardage, they just made plays the plays that oregon's D couldn't.

I do think you need a dynamic offense these days. OF course, you also have to possess a defense good enough to make key stops, but I tend to agree the 3 yards and a cloud of dust is probably not enough to get you there anymore.

this pretty much sums it up.
