    Being on the field for 42 min is what happen

    Which of course led to them being a shell of themselves as the game wore on.
    I dont bring up the past often, but man those 7 yard cushions took me back to bad days around here, and sure enough bad things happened on the field that game also. as terrible as the offense was, the Defense had a hand in how long they were on the field. allowing easy first downs the entire way down the field is a bad recipe for getting off the field.

    I think the lack of offense was the biggest factor in our defeat, but I also very much agree with what is mentioned here. I don't understand having DB's playing 10-15 yards off of a WR when only 5-8 yards are required for a first down.

    15 yards is a stretch.

    Rice kept throwing to the wide open guy in the middle of the field.
    The Cajuns never threw to the middle of the field all day.

    Because the defense makes a play to get off the field, and the offense can't do anything with it.
