youtubing old games, came across 1992 Washington @ Arizona.
-
This isn't the HOLY SH*T their defense allowed fewer yards than rushing attempts-Arizona defense, but it was still great, allowing under 2 yards per rush.
But looking at their schedule and results is incredible.
First of all, with the nation's 2nd-best scoring defense, they went 6-5-1. They lost 2 games in which they allowed one score. But besides all that:
-
Look at this - Arizona played at #1 Miami, #11 UCLA, at #8 Stanford and #1 Washington...four games vs top 11 opponents...and allowed a TOTAL of 20 points.
They went 3-1 in those games, losing by a point @ Miami missing a FG as time expired.
How does a team whose defense did THAT still go on to lose 5 games?
