Spencer Rattler’s first start was…

Olave getting concussed early on didn’t help either. It made shaheed his primary read. Football is like a boxing match. The fighters trade blows until one of them weakens then the other starts doubling up blows until the other submits. Our offenses inability to trade blows, allowed our defense to eventually get pummeled. So you can’t completely blame the D for letting it get out of control. The offense needed to contribute.

I agree overall, but the offense was doing enough to keep the game close until the defense stopped tackling and started giving up huge YAC on almost every play. The looked tired, but they had to do better than that. And just like I couldn't blame the Defense when they only gave up 12 and 15 points, I can't blame the offense when the defense gives up 51 points.
