In 10 possession GT scored 4 TDs, missed a FG, had two 3 & outs, one 4 & out, one 5 & out, and one 7 & out. Of those 5 five fruitless drives, the 3 & out on the first series of the second half, that yielded 4 total yards, was most disappointing.
While the defense was getting sliced and diced for most if the game they only gave up 7 points in the second half. No doubt, the defense remains a huge liability, but the offense failed badly today. This team can't win consistently when the offense has five possessions that gain little to nothing and has a missed FG. Fair or not, if this is to be a bowl team the offense will have to be much more efficient to compensate for such a weak defense.
