Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1865765, member: 40"] 3rd and long has been our Achilles heel for a LONG time. Will be interesting to see how/ if the Tampa 2 changes that. I think [believe?] that the D is going to be a little bit better and more advanced that many of us expected this year, but feel like we'll be better once we improve the personnel on that side of the ball and stack some depth. Right now, DE is a huge area of concern, but those true frosh playing now will make this a positional unit of strength in a year or two. The secondary is dangerously low on numbers / a bit short on talent right now. Ditto, we'll see improved performance once Babers and staff have time to get system fits on that side of the ball [bigger linebackers, more depth / size in the secondary, etc.]. When you consider how easily Colgate moved the ball on that first drive, 5 for 16 isn't too bad. FCS team, I know, but something for the D to build upon. [/QUOTE]
