I'm not bashing the defense- but they're weren't as good as some MSU fans try to make them out to be and were hardly innocent in the games we lost.

And only 2 games our offense won? LOL. We scored 40+ points on A&M and Arkansas. The only defenses that stopped us at all were in the top 15. Find me any offense that consistently scores on that type of defense. It sure as hell won't be this Barbay guy that we got that literally no one knows who the hell he is. But hey! Dave Bartoo's analytics says he's good.**
Not to dispute it completely but the TAM game we had an INT TD and block FG returned for TD. That block came after we fumbled on our side of the field giving TAM great field position when the game was 14-3. Maybe the offense did enough either way to win but it's a 28-24 or 27 game at best without that defensive hold after the fumble, block FG and then the pick 6 later in the game. Forbes had another INT as well and we missed a FG off of that INT. Took all 3 phases to win that game.
