Same story could be written a lot of weeks. Defense keeps an offense that lacks any identity or effectiveness in the game, only to have no margin for error. Illinois, Iowa in the 2nd half, Ohio State.
Haven’t had a consistently good offense since JoeMo left.

If only we would have had this defense when JoeMo was here.

And what bothers me is that group played with a chip on its shoulder. It really did. Lacked the kind high end recruiting we have now, but it is what it is.
Remember, held a good OSU offense in check for much of that game. A very good one.

It is common thing lately giving up late scores to lose games.
