It's funny, because everyone views it through the lens of their team.

We're convinced that we've got a great defense and that it wasn't mostly because the SMU offense was impotent. And we're convinced our terrible offense is more reflective of us, than of anything to do with the SMU defense

But SMU has the exact same take. Their defense was great in shutting down BYU, but their offense struggled despite playing a BYU defense that isn't particularly notable
