What does losing Babb have to do with us letting FAU put up 28 points?! On offense I agree, with Babb we have a great thing, but the defense had nothing.

I will agree that losing Babb affected our offense, however I will have to disagree about defense. Hear me out. Some great coaches have said a teams best defense is a ball control offense! Well when watching the replay on channel 27, after the first half was over the time of possession split was around 20 min for FAU and 10 for UL. We did NOT play offensively any better the second half(3 and out most of the half) and yet in the early goings of the 4th quarter the score was UL 10 FAU 7! That my friend is pretty good defense(bend don't break). Yes we had some breaks where their recievers dropped the ball but so did they get MANY breaks with OUR dropped balls. OUR DEFENSE GOT TIRED AND LOST A STEP OR TWO THEN LOST THE GAME. Our offense must control the ball more and do so with balance NOT JUST DES MO RUNNING. FAU figured out the run, shut it down and saw DES MO and Co could not pitch and catch. END OF THAT GAME!

Sorry, DC, but it wasn't so much a bend but don't break defense as it was their kicker missing 3 FGs. The score would have been in their favor much earlier if their kicker hadn't missed those kicks.
