This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I believe that 14 of those points were not given up by the defense. I know that Purdue had a fumble recovery for a TD in the first game, and I believe there may have also been a blocked punt for a TD (against Navy?).
Therefore, the Defense gave up 24 total points in 10 games. 2.4 per game.
Yes, today we have a higher scoring type of game in general. But, 2.4 per game ... I don't know if such stats are available, but has anyone (at least those who ever played only D1 teams) come close to that?
