But when people are saying he was "awful" after a game in which he threw for over 200 yards and a touchdown -- shoulda been two TDs, with Ertz just barely dragged down short of the goal line on that 60-plus throw -- then I understand why David Shaw says the criticism is asinine. Too many of you have set your mind against Nunes and can't acknowledge anything he does right. I'll start taking criticism of Nunes seriously when everybody who last week said we couldn't possibly score 20 points without a defensive touchdown posts: "Okay, I admit it, I didn't know my ass from my elbow."

I said before the game that I had a hard time seeing us win on the road against a team with a pulse.  I am quite happy that I was wrong.  But let's be very clear.  We scored 21 points largely because of our defense and special teams.  Two of our TD's came off a 34-yard drive and a 20-yard drive, set up by a Terrell punt return and a fumble.  We won that game because of our defense.
