Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 5486140, member: 210"] Main upside for me is that we played a top SEC program and it was not men against boys anywhere on the field. Yes there are scheme issues and mental issues, but physically we don’t look like an D3 team. That alone is a huge upside because all the scheme in the world doesn’t make up for a big gap in athleticism. Biggest downside as many have noted is the lack of any imagination or sophisticated scheme on D. It was clear on the first drive that we couldn’t get any real pressure on their offense by playing a vanilla scheme yet nothing changed. Then on our first drive their D immediately ran stunts to get pressure and blitzed several times. Game over. Also the first penalty of the game set the tone for the offense as it was purely mental and erased a huge 3rd down conversion. The offense took 2 quarters to recover… ball game. [/QUOTE]
