	Sports -- Georgetown Offense Improves, Downs UMES, Rhode Island
		The Georgetown baseball team's dormant offense finally regained its stride this weekend, but it wasn't enough to take a three-game series from the University of Rhode Island.
		While the offense, led by freshman shortstop Matt Carullo (3 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored) produced an adequate four runs, the defense faltered, surrendering four unearned runs to the Rams.
		The Hoya offense exploded, striking early and often battering a helpless UMES defense and pitching staff into submission by a margin of 14-5.

	Bears Take Offense - Sports
		(Sports Network) - The Chicago Bears have all but become the inverse of the Indianapolis Colts.
		The book on them has long read that they're defense is incredible and if they can just manage to find a sparkler's worth of firepower offensively, they can dominate their conference.
		Veteran wideout Muhsin Muhammad (10 receptions, 161 yards on the season) has been the big-bodied possession receiver that Ron Turner's offense relies on and, after catching five balls for 89 yards against Detroit, including an astounding 41-yard touchdown, third-year wideout Bernard Berrian is developing into a much-needed downfield threat for the Bears.

	Vikings Offense Struggling - Sports
		(Sports Network) - It used to be that a Viking could score just about any time he wanted, simply by rowing his Norwegian boat into a remote village and pillaging and plundering for a few hours.
		The complaints about having too much of a dink-and-dunk system are starting to creep in, which is something that has not happened in Minnesota since long before the Randy Moss era opened in 1998.
		NEXT UP There is no better way to get an offense on track than to return home to face the Detroit Lions heading into your bye week.

	Boston.com / Sports / Offense makes good points
		The role of the offense, as in 2001, is to sustain drives and keep the defense reasonably fresh.
		No, it hasn't led to a large number of points, but when the schedule softens in the second half, the drives that are cut short because of strong defense may result in higher points.
		The best thing about the Patriots offense is that it generally does not shoot itself in the foot.

	Sports Central Newsletter - #96 - In Defense of Offense [Archive] - Sports Central Message Boards
		In other words, while defense may beat offense in the Super Bowl itself, a great defense is no guarantee of success in the regular season or the playoffs.
		In fact, offense appears to be a slightly better indicator of a team's chance to be one of the last two teams standing.
		This method of examining the offense vs. defense question, though obviously flawed, is not without value, and it seems to indicate that a great offense is better than a great defense.

	Tressel's Warning Of Change Aimed At Offense - Sports (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		That is particularly true of the offense, which has done just enough right to keep the Buckeyes unbeaten -- and just enough wrong to cause heart palpitations for the Buckeyes' fans heading into the Big Ten opener Saturday at Northwestern.
		Nick Mangold is literally the center of Ohio State's offense, so he has some perspective on what's wrong with the anemic running game.
		They say the Buckeyes are far too predictable on offense (then again, that's a common complaint whenever the team doesn't win every game by, oh, 100 points).

	WNUR Sports: Hoosier Offense No Longer a One-Man Operation
		After all, the Hoosiers have never been known as football juggernauts, and Randle El would be a standout on even the most talented of teams.
		He’s an incredibly versatile performer, who has a career average of 258 yards of total offense per game and has amassed 40 rushing touchdowns and 37 passing TDs since arriving at Indiana.
		So, while Randle El is no longer the lone big fish in the Hoosiers’ small pond, if indeed he ever was (considering the nature of Williams’ career), it’s clear that the only thing troubling either of Indiana’s playmakers is how to get their second win of the season this Saturday against the Northwestern Wildcats.

		It's not exactly a whole new world for Washington's offense because coach Joe Gibbs and new associate head coach Al Saunders and were both schooled by legendary mastermind Don Coryell.
		The Redskins rose from an abysmal 30th on offense in 2004 to a solid 11th 2005 but struggled in the playoffs.
		The great thing about what we do is that the offense is so flexible that it allows for a lot of creativity.

	Sports: Meyer's offense on the move
		It's an offense that has been tagged with nicknames such as controlled chaos, fastbreak on grass, basketball on turf.
		The offense at Bowling Green with Josh Harris was significantly different than the offense for (Utah quarterback) Alex Smith because they are different players.
		But remember Steve Spurrier was in a class by himself when it came to offense.

	OSU prepares for Longhorn offense - Sports
		Nebraska's defense is ranked No. 2 in the conference and should have Rhett Bomar and the No. 9 Sooner offense wishing that they were husking corn in the midday heat instead of seeing that fl shirt D all up in their grill during every play.
		Even though the Nebraska Cornhusker offense is struggling mightily this season, falling in at No. 10 in the Big 12, it should fair well against an Oklahoma Sooners defense that is giving up more than 300 yards a game.
		This contest was obviously a preseason television selection, being that it's broadcasting on ABC at noon, which was a smart choice because viewers haven't seen this much offensive fire power out of two teams since Super Bowl Sunday...during the Lingerie Bowl on Pay Per View.

	Offense (sports) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In sport, offense (American English) and offence (British English and Canadian English) is the action of attacking or engaging an opposing team with the objective of scoring points or goals.
		The term may also refer to the tactics involved in offense, or a sub-team whose primary responsibility is offense.
		However, in Britain and elsewhere, the term 'offence' is almost always taken to mean an infraction of the rules, a penalty or foul, and 'attack' is more likely to be used where Americans would use 'offense'.

		Last year, the baseball team compiled its 12th consecutive winning season, going 18-14, and much of this was thanks to the way the Jumbo hitters swung the bats, as the team scored in double digits in five of its wins.
		The major loss from last year's offense is third baseman Adam Kacamburas.
		With the large number of returning hitters, the offense should find itself in good shape for this season.

		Pederson indeed converted on a power play in the opening period for the Gulls' first score against the Idaho Steelheads, accounting for an early tie.
		It also helped ignite a slumping offense mount a five-goal run as the Gulls proceeded to top the Steelheads 6-3 before an announced crowd of 10,188 at the Sports Arena.

	Bucs Not Making Strides On Offense - Sports
		(Sports Network) - Sure, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense had its moments in their latest disheartening loss, a 30-14 setback at home to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
		This is the dilemma of the Bucs at the midway point of what's been an increasingly hopeless 2006 season.
		The team has scored the fewest points of any team in the NFL and compiled the second-fewest yards on offense, while a defense that is clearly past its prime has mustered the second-fewest sacks and the third-fewest turnovers in the league.

	The Seattle Times: Sports: Sonics' offense sings vs. Jazz
		SALT LAKE CITY — True to his word, coach Bob Hill kept his foot on the gas and the Sonics' high-octane offense motored past the slumping Utah Jazz, which had lost four of the past six games.
		Seattle's 113-94 victory in front of 19,382 at the Delta Center on Wednesday gave the team its first back-to-back wins in more than a month.
		Utah forward Mehmet Okur (20 points and 13 rebounds) was the only Jazz player who had a semblance of a solid game, and reserve guards Milt Palacio and rookie Deron Williams each chipped in 11 points.

		That was never more evident than in the Vikings 34-16 win over the New Orleans Saints in Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game.
		Quarterback Daunte Culpepper passed for 302 yards and threw three touchdowns -- including strikes of 53 and 68 yards to Randy Moss -- to ignite their explosive offense.
		And the Vikings porous defense did just enough to slow the Saints, intercepting quarterback Aaron Brooks twice.

		BELLEVUE — Interlake quarterback Bryce Brigham says video games aren't his specialty, but last night during a second-quarter whirlwind the Saints' offense put up points so fast it seemed this game was being staged on PlayStation 2.
		Against an overmatched Squalicum squad from Bellingham, Interlake put up 34 points in the first seven minutes of the second quarter en route to a 47-10 nonconference football runaway over the Storm.
