You said that in response to a poster saying NU would beat KU soundly, that
the defense would have to play a lot better than it did last Saturday, which
implies the defense was the problem last Saturday. That is what prompted me
to retort as to why the defense WAS NOT the problem last Saturday (or really
at all this year, save the OSU game when we played one of the best offenses
in the country).
So far, despite my responding with facts, you responded with sarcasm.
Hope that helps explain things.

P.S. Regarding the axe to grind comment:
On Sunday 11/7 you wrote:
"I don't like BP, but not because of his coaching ability."
Then:
"Because he's a meanie."
Followed by:
"Yes, I'm on record as loving Bill Callahan."

Let me get this straight. I post that the defense needs to play better.
You respond with these long posts quoting all these stats to take issue with
that. Now you say that you are on record as you "have stated that the
defense has room for improvement".
So, per Skylar, the defense doesn't need to play better but it does have
room for improvement.
Have I got it right yet?
