[COLOR=#ff0000]#64[/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=#000000][I]After progressing last week offensively against WVU, SU slipped back down a few spots to #96 in total offense after an abysmal showing against L'Ville. The lack of execution, missed open receivers, missed blocking assignments and a conservative offensive gameplan can obviously be attributed to this drop. [/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I]Defensively, we progressed from last week even though we gave up 27 points. Overall, our defense improved it's position going from 73rd after WVU to 69th after L'Ville. Take away the 2 big scoring plays and our defense actually played a good game. We continue to be aggressive with our blitz packages and rank in the top quartile of the country in sacks.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I]Overall, this team has to be more way more aggressive on offense. If we are going to give up almost 27 points/game, we need to score more than 27 (captain obvious here). I am not a fan of Hackett. I'm putting it on record. In addition to the lack of offense, these stupid penalties are killing us. That blame goes on everyone, but mainly the players. The refs aren't going to let stuff like that fly, so knock it off. Defensively, our D shows really great things at times but when you give up 2 HUGE scoring plays, it makes all of the great plays look cloudy. Our secondary is constantly getting burned. If we can continue to get alot of pressure on opposing QB's, alot of that should change. [/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][I]We need to improve every facet of our game this weekend in order to lock up bowl eligibility. Enough already.[/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
