Is it the defense last two seasons though? Two years ago their offense put up 17 at Kyle. 2025 you saw them put up 27 at home…so they averaged 22 points a game against Elko as a head coach. Last year tu averaged 28 per game in sec play so the defense has been holding them below their average. Offense needs to step up and win us these games….now that is still on Elko and hopefully will get better.
Agree that the offense hasn't done us any favors the last 2 years, BUT if the defense just plays to their standard for the first 11 games (aside from USCe 1H) this past season, we're probably driving to win the game instead of just trying to stay in it. I've talked ad nauseaum about the nonsense going on with our run defense, but it's also ridiculous how we let Manning look like VY out there. I saw Manning in person, and he is by no means slight, but ain't big.
My point is really that Elko has yet to really shut down Sark on defense, so if we're going to laud Elko as this coaching mastermind and he's an 0fer along with regularly giving up well above season averages, we can't be saying Sark sucks.
