I'm not sure how to explain the first half disaster, but part of it might have been some sense of overconfidence.  Having recovered from the loss to Northwestern, and a sluggish first half against UCF, the offense had been on an absolute roll.  Defense had been solid, easy to see how eventually there would be a letdown sometime, where you just think you can't be beaten by the team in front of you that particular week.  If that was the case, then we just survived a very dangerous week, one that trips up a lot of teams during the course of a season.  Let's see how they do next week against what looks to be a rapidly improving Colorado.

I'm sorry but I cannot understand how anyone can say the defense had a letdown.  One of the statistically best offenses in the country got six possessions in the first half and came away with only 15 points.  THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A LETDOWN.

The defense saved our butts tonight by keeping Wazzu out of the end zone in the first half, stopping the two-point conversion, and Meeks' game-winning second INT of the game, among other plays.
