Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5516835, member: 405"] Nixon showed courage and belief in Rickie by running the same kind of plays he has run for the entire time he has been here at the beginning of the game. And there were flashes, a handful of plays where it worked. We have good wide receivers, a good TE, good running backs. We do have playmakers out there. We will be able to score. I believe that. We need to be more aggressive on defense. We went after Clemson. Now, you can say that if you blitz, you leave your DBs vulnerable, but you don't HAVE to play man defense if you blitz. You can still do zone coverage back there, but we give cushions that are too big. If we don't tackle well in the open field, you can't allow these other teams to have room to catch the ball so they can run after the catch. [/QUOTE]
