I think it says something about the improvement of our defense if Portland State's opponents "earned" worst performance two weeks in a row. Ever since halftime of the Idaho game, our defense has looked like it finally gets it.

I mean, turnovers can alter the outcome of a game.
Would we have won without them? I don't know. But it could have been a very different game.
Then take it one more step...If you would have just scored one more point that the other team in your 3 losses, you wouldn't have 3 losses...Yeah...NO SHIT

UM's loss was relatively embarrassing, but PSU & SUU are much worse teams than NoDak.

It could've been, theoretically, but the D allowed 536 yards and a 190 passing-efficiency rating. The turnovers made it easier for NoDak's offense, but they likely would've been scoring some points during that stretch anyway.
