The defense is keeping us in games? In the Big Ten, we've played two games. We've been down 14-0 in both games within the first 10 minutes (Iowa did it faster) Drives of 53, 62, 75 and 91 yards. During that time, Maryland had a scoring drive of 2 plays covering 91 yards and Iowa 3 Plays covering 62 yards. We have problems on offense and defense, my friend. Special teams, too.
To me the difference is that we have a trend with Robb Smith that is not good. we're giving up 45 points per game through two games. That's almost double our average from last year and a full 10 points higher than the last two games last year which were abysmal performances against ranked teams. The two teams that have hung 90 points on us combined scored 48 points on us last year. That's an increase of 87.5%. We didn't give up more than 39 points in conference play last year. We've done it twice this year, and chances are good we'll do it again on Saturday.
So, yeah. I'm complaining about the defense, because it not only sucks, it's getting worse.
