imo. defense has been the issue this year.
since the miami game this game and virginia tech were alittle shaky offensively, however defense has been teh issue this year.

you need to practice both in practice though and keep them fresh in your mind can't win with just one of them.

what killed us against pitt is we couldn't get 2nd and 3rd options in the flow of the game. Hence they were 4th options. gbinije, cooney, dajuan had alittle bit going but no second third option your going to lose. same thing happened to us when malachi and lydon hit rock bottom from wisky-miami. the 8 field goals from everyone not named malachi at miami rings a bell.

We have had years with no 3rd 4th 5th options like last year. this year we got a true first second third option and three guys rolling the dice for 4th and roberson on the glass.

Just one of those games with no offensive flow,that has got to be frustrating no wonder we got killed on the boards. we will never beat pitt without 2nd 3rd options they are to good of a team to do that against.

this team is fun to watch offensively over all you just get the feeling dajuan roberson, lydon malachi cooney can get hot any given night.

Bballs a funny game. I think back to the louisville lost the defense was atrocious, now I think back to this loss and our offense wasn't fresh. This team has to keep both fresh in their mind in practice, especially defense. let this be a lesson to the kids they need to keep defense and offense fresh every game or they will lose espeically going into march.
