re: Would you prefer an Elite offense or an Elite defense

Even if your defense is elite, a bad offense is going to turn the ball over and/or cause you to lose the field position game. Eventually the other team will need a first down or 2 to get into scoring territory. And no matter how great your defense is, you aren’t going through a whole game without yielding a couple first downs.

I couldn’t find it for college, but the last time an NFL didn’t get a single first down was the broncos in 1966.

And get worn out, demoralized, and have it get into their heads. 21-0. 1/9. All that needs to be said about what can happen to a team that holds the opponent to FG's but the offense can't get on the board. I'll take an incomplete pass to the endzone for a loss on the last play of the game like Ole Miss last year anytime rather than watch death by a thousand cuts on 1/9/12 ever again in my life.
