Mendenhall never said total points mattered. He said MANAGING the points matters. Consequently, if we are up three touchdowns, Mendenhall will change his defense to make sure that we don't give up big plays, even if that means giving up yards and points. Look no further than the CSU game to see that. People that think we would have played defense the same if we hadn't jumped out to a 21 point lead are stupid and not listening to what Bronco has said.

He has no problem giving up 21 points if we score 59.
