As far as offense I feel like our struggles were more execution versus talent or scheme. It’s why we play well versus lesser defenses. We can get away with poorer execution against those lesser defenses. As our QB and OL and certain skill players gain experience I expect execution to improve.
On defense I thought it was interesting what we did. It appeared we brought ALOT of pressure early in the game and they were out of sync and rhythm. Then when we got a lead we backed off as to not give up the big play, which, as would be expected, led to us giving up some big plays
. And then late in the game we cranked up the pressure again.
Overall was glad to see us win the game but giving up 448 yards passing on “Bobby Johnson Day” just isn’t right. I hope he didn’t see the awful technique we had at times from our DBs. But we made some plays when we had to and for the second time this year beat a ranked team at home.
I like where we are going, it’s been super frustrating this year at times, but I trust the process and have seen enough from the youngsters to feel like we have the potential to continue to get better.

Great win. But I do KNOW that our pass D is just BAD. Western and VMI have just eaten us alive vs our pass D. I mean killed us.
Maybe someone can explain what we are doing wrong? I mean, I saw Jackal note that we may (I haven’t checked] give up more third and ten plays to our opponents than 4th and two. It’s crazy. We would almost be better served to allow the opponent to get a few yards so we don’t give then 3rd and 9. We would rather they have 3rd and 4.
What are we doing wrong ?. I’m really asking.
(VMI had 448 yards passing. Western with a whole new system and players had 386 passing. These last two teams are averaging over 400 yards just in passing yardage! ]
