Erm, I can't get a read on that statement...anyway, dispassionate response:

Our offense had ONE good drive-- a 13-play, 68-yd drive that ended in a touchdown.  The other touchdown was a two-play, 75-yard work of art, but it was a busted play and not a product of sustained offensive success.  The field goal came on 8 plays, 33 yards (drive started at STAN42)--hardly sustained success.  And don't forget that the defense had to dig deep and score a touchdown to seal the game.  When you have to count on your defense scoring to win, your offense is not getting it done :(

All other offensive possessions: six drives ending in punts, averaging 5 plays per drive.

My "Case in point: our last game" comment was intended to tease you a bit, and refute your "Quote from: fullmetal ...
No matter how great your defense is, you will probably lose if your offense can't move the ball and score."

Based on your follow-up response above, it sounds like we're in agreement that 1) our defense was "great" against WSU, and 2) with just a couple of exceptions, our "offense [couldn't] move the ball and score". 

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure the scoreboard indicated that we didn't lose!  Impossible!?!?  ;)
