The issue during the ND comeback was defense
Our offense struggled, yes. But at that point in the game, up 21, 14, 8...you just need stops. The points will come. Points are much harder to come by off a make then a miss. You get 5-10 seconds more offense to run off a miss and you get the opportunity for quick hitters. When the other team makes, they get back, they set their defense, and shorten the clock while removing the potential for early easy hitters.
We needed stops, not points. Since we lost, yes, I'd like to have seen more of Hill. But give us another 21 point lead and I'd play it the same way as we did...easy to look back with regret.
