Tennessee Gameday...

[Yeti]

In fairness to Erob, on a 2nd and 9 our senior captain DT is draped on their RB for a loss of 3 and can’t bring him down, resulting in a 50 yard run. like that is the difference in games. Embarrassing

More importantly there was no follow up. The entire defense stopped playing.

 

[23Zone]

Contrary to what I think everyone thought on the board, we just don't have enough meat inside to stop smash mouth SEC football. We're still a few years away

 

[Flacuse]

This first half has been the length of a college basketball game.

Yep. Texas/OSU is 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

 

[Cuse12]

Defense is brutal and I mean BRUTAL. This is not on the offense at all

 

[SU91]

And the refs held the snap so we couldn't get the 12 men on the field call.

Yeah, I don’t get this.

 

[AZOrange]

Well the over looks good. Fighting chance on spread

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[hoopsupstate]

We still have no speed on the defensive line or linebacker. No playmakers at either position.

 

[CanadianSU]

I don’t know what to think really. Important second half.

 

[phil77]

What defense is it?

Some sort of rush 3 don’t blitz drop 8 into cover but leave your outside CBs on an island. lol. Best way to describe what I see. Not good

 

[cuseman404]

This is yr 2 of our d coordinator getting out coached. I mean they are averaging 20 yrds a play good lord.

 

[Tango32]

WR actually looked like he had a half step to full step on the DB if Angeli had just cut it loose a little sooner may have worked. Dude needs to realize the ND O line ain't in front of him

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Man I hate the 2-3 zone. Oh wait.

 

[SUforme]

Lot of amateurish play calling on both sides.

 

[AZOrange]

Are we running a 3-3-5 out there? Are my eyes deceiving me?

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Angeli

Contrary to what I think everyone thought on the board, we just don't have enough meat inside to stop smash mouth SEC football. We're still a few years away

meat (crappy) isn’t the issue talent and athleticism are.

 

[Archimedes]

The UConn game is going to tell us a lot.

 

[upperdeck]

some key big plays . we need a couple. not only yhe blown tackle leads to long run. but the pass before could have been a pick. but the d cant string 3 plays together

 

[anomander]

I get all the hate on ERob, but we don't have any dudes on defense. At least last year we had guys like Wax, Cinco, and Barron. Our talent level on that side of the ball is extremely poor.

 

[Acesn8s]

I would say our weapons have been very good, our oLine is meh but mans our defense is Dumpster juice.

 

[Irt4su]

Nice completion to end the half

 

[Orangezoo]

Contrary to what I think everyone thought on the board, we just don't have enough meat inside to stop smash mouth SEC football. We're still a few years away

And we need to be willing to be a bit more aggressive as we aren’t getting home without bringing extra pressure.

 

[kingtidge]

This defense is so bad, I am legitimately concerned about the few W's we had penciled in on this schedule... No game is gonna be easy with the level of play we're seeing on D right now.

 

[dwilmont44]

The UConn game is going to tell us a lot.

Didn't they keep it close last year against one of our best offenses ever?

Could be scary

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Why would the defense be better when they lost 7 starters?
