Yup, I agree 100%.
Similar thing could be said of the Texas game, yet of the silly play by Parker. Instead of being down 23-14 (maybe WE score before the half), we're down 30-14. I'm not sure it would have made a difference on the W/L outcome, but that was a key play to the game.
The defense has put us in some tough positions but really has yet to cost us a game. The offense however, you can put the Iowa and Nebraska loss directly on their shoulders.
