First - let me say please don't make this a Mason bashing vs make him the AD and the coach at the same time debate. Just wanted to share something that brought a smile to my face this afternoon.
On Barreiro's topic of the offense making it hard on the defense vs Nebraska, and how a bad offense can make a defense look worse than it really is, Mason made the usual best offense is a good defense...yada, yada, yada comment and then said something along the lines of: Back when I was in the Big 8 and Oklahoma St. had Barry Sanders, it amazed me one year when they had the #1 offense in the country and yet their defense was nearly last. Think what it it would've been if their offense hadn't been so good.
I was amazed to hear him say something like this
