People should really check out the Pac 12 stats including only the 9 conference games. It is enlightening. Here are the cliff notes:
1) CU top half in offense
2) CU average in special teams
3) CU 11 of 12 in defense

Neinas' special teams, once conference play started, were better than people are giving him credit for.
All in all, it is stunning to know we were dead last in the conference in wins given where we were statistically. The horrible defense and turnover ratio killed us.
