I would generally agree... Though there are cases where the offense can contribute a sizable portion of the opp. scoring avg.

In UCONN's case, the offense gave up the ball or punt get blocked inside UCONN's own red zone. D had to defend a really short field and gave up some points.

Syracuse has the best FG/Punting team in the BE

I gotta brag about soomething LOL

In WVU's case, we have one of the best red zone defenses in the nation. WVU is allowing very few TDs once teams get into scoring position. Just ask Syracuse...
