Oregon's going to embarrass the hell out of the Pac12 and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.
So is UW
Guess Dylan's not the guy then.
More like our vaunted defense will choke like it always does OOC
By "vaunted" I'm assuming you don't mean anything pre Pete era so let's look at the performance of our offense versus our defense in Pete era OOC games.
And by "always" I'm assuming you don't mean against Boises or BYU's or Rutgers or Southern Miss since we won those games.
That leaves us with 5 games to analyze:
UW defense points allowed
[/b]
Auburn 21 (average we gave up that season was 16.4) (average they scored that season was 30.9)
Ohio State 28 (average we gave up that season was 16.4) (average they scored that season was 42.4)
Penn State 35 (average we gave up that season was 16.1) (average they scored that season was 41.1)
Alabama 10 (average we gave up that season was 17.7) (average they scored that season was 38.8)
2014 Oklahoma State 30 (average we gave up that season was 24.8) (average they scored that season was 27.6)
Average UW opponent score in these games: 24.8 [/b]
Average score of these five teams in the season we played them: 36.16
UW's defense held these opponents to 11.36 points below their average scoring totals.
[/b]Average score given up by UW's defense in these seasons: 18.28
These opponents scored 6.52 more points against UW's defense than average opponents did.
[/b]
Auburn 16 (average we scored that season was 26.4) (average they gave up that season was 19.2)
Ohio State 23 (average we scored that season was 26.4) (average they gave up that season was 25.5)
Penn State 28 (average we scored that season was 36.2) (average they gave up that season was 16.5)
Alabama 7 (average we scored that season was 41.8) (average they gave up that season was 13)
Oklahoma State 22 (average we scored that season was 30.2) (average they gave up that season was 31.2)
Average UW score in these games: 19.2[/b]
Average points given up by these five teams in these seasons we played them: 21.08
UW's offense scored 1.88 points less per game against these defenses than their average opponents.
[/b]Average score of UWs offense in these seasons: 32.2
These opponents held UW's offense to 11.12 fewer points than average opponents did. [/b]
TL;DR: [/b]
Our defense *choked* against these notable OOC opponents to the tune of holding them to 11.36 fewer points than their scoring average. Our offense OTOH scored almost 2 points per game fewer against these opponents than they usually gave up.
Our defense *choked* against these notable OOC opponents by allowing 6.52 more points per game than UW's defense typically did. Our offense OTOH scored 11.12 fewer points in these games than they usually did.
If you think that means the defense is the unit that failed in these games I can't help you. Butt if Morris fails to get the job done I'm sure you'll Lather. Rinse. Repeat. and just blame the defense.
