Props to Bullough/Adjustment

Great job by Bullough switching to almost exclusive press man coverage. The first 2 drives CMU moved the ball down the field with Cuse playing their soft cover 2. After that he seemed to realize his db's had the advantage against their wr's and went to press man while sending at least 2 of the LB's on almost every snap. Nice adjustment. There was no way CMU's wr's were going to beat us.
I agree the zone leaves too many gaps but in order to run the man stuff the D-line has to continue to get pressure on the QB
 
I just want to point out how disgustingly good Crume has been so far this year. No he isn't Jay Bromley but damn has he been great for us in the middle, and a nonstop motor in the pass rush, I know he forced the fumble on the scoop and score, but I'm pretty sure he had another effort sack as well.

He was all over the place. We get a lot of value out of those 2 star DT's that no one else offers :)
 
I know he had that one big catch in the 2nd half over Morgan, despite good coverage, but i'd like to know how many of those catches/yards came after 1st quarter.

But like Clev04 said we know we can stop run oriented teams with a immobile qb. We need to show we can make adjustments to stop those mobile qb's, and spread offenses. Personally i'd like to see more press man coverage. imo that's where we are at our best.
They did look better in press coverage, except for that one reception by Kroll. But have to give the D credit in this one -- much much better than last week. Better tackling, excellent against the run (it helped that Rush wasn't as mobile as Robinson last week) and we never let them get in rhythm (or in the end zone). They did pass for 180+ yards against us ... but our blitzing took over, especially on 3rd down, holding them to 1-10 conversions.

On offense, TH looked like a man today. And I love the younger guys, Ishmael, Phillips, Custis ... the future looks pretty good with those guys.

He plays really conservative, especially when were in a zone. He gets a lot of passes completed in front of him, but I can't recall too many occasions where he has been beaten 1 on 1 over the top.

This is true. Even in man, he typically keeps the play in front of him.
