Defense can only win championships if your offense is halfway competent, I also hate the saying that "Defense wins championships", it's half of the equation. You have to score more points than your opponent to win a championship also. Maybe if Mason didn't get hurt last week there'd be a chance of something happening, but the clock struck 12 on Hodges 3 weeks ago.
As fun as it was to cheer for an underdog like Duck, the guy shown he was severely limited. His passes hang in the air for what seems like 10 seconds, that's gonna eat you alive against any decent defense. I don't know if there's anything can be done about that kind of lack of arm strength, but unless something changes, defenses will pretty much keep throwing the same thing at him and shutting him down. The fact his passes float for that long is a good reason why he never goes over the middle at all, can you say INT?
