    The defense is going to let them score on every damn drive. Absolutely terrible.

    The entire defensive backfield plan looks atrocious today the defensive back coach should be fired these guys do not tackle

    UND player was wrapped up, breaks free, and gets a TD.

    Doesn't matter if our recruiting has improved (convo from earlier) if the players can't actually execute.

    Tackling is non existent by the dbsm

    The recruiting emphasis has been on offense and it shows.

    False start penalty negates a failed 4th and 1 that may have also been a fumble

    Just a roller coaster of mediocrity there

    If I'm UND just try a bunch of deep balls in a row here. We haven't stopped em all game.

    Really? Show me all the plays we've made today that are so amazing

    At least adding some bigger DBs was a focus of last year’s recruiting class; unfortunately those guys haven’t played much.
    Both our linebackers and DBs are small and that is reflected in yards after contact.

    Was there the slightest doubt what was going to happen as soon as Jake went under center? I know the coaching staff loves the little trickery and wrinkles but there was nothing subtle about that. Sure, it isn't a bad 4th and 1 play when you're Army and all of your plays start like that, but the element of surprise is lost when we do it.

    Also, that RB got like 10 extra yards because our guys couldn't bring him down

    Really not a lot of positives to say about that half. Defense was bad... worse than bad. Offense took an entire quarter to get rolling. I guess Whelan has been good.

    Well, we look terrible. I think the second half will need to be the time where we differenciate ourselves. Make the adjustments, go out and play with pride and energy. Show us that this team can turn it around and be the team they can be.

    We miss Mason Moe & Parenteau.

    Edit: Maybe we're seeing depth issues as our roster includes:

    15 wide receivers
    7 tight ends
    6 QBs

    We are overrated as a ranked team period. Ranked on paper, not deserving on field.

    Also, how great does this broadcast look. Real cameras, replays, angles. Makes our broadcast with the single camera, auto replay and radio overlay feel like high school.

    Which sucks because Scott Marsh is amazing. We are lucky to have him.
  • CA Forever

    There is something fundamentally wrong with the defense as evidenced by last game and today. I'm not sure it's just missing Moe and Parenteau. Sure they were good players, but literally every player is whiffing on tackles today, not to mentioned blown coverage.
  • movielover

    Massive holes on the D Line, and we have size there and 5 seniors. I'm no expert, but with no pressure on the QB it makes our job 2x as tough, then overworked.

    Our opponents have had 2 off seasons to study our film. Our "trick" plays seem repetitive. This may be situational, but I haven't seen a snap to the RB or a fake punt, or anything new (& fun).
  • NCagalum

    From the little I have seen, there is absolutely no defensive penetration (except for the 4th down stop). Lack of penetration and pass rush has been a problem this year IMO. Linebackers and DBs are undersized compared to most of the opposition. Speed and tackling must be on to counteract that.
  • SoCalAggie

    If a QB had all day. Eventually the secondary will get beat. That’s at any level. We have great LBs and secondary. The lack of pressure is the issue. They literally have all day to throw.
  • CA Forever

    Well the offense looks sharp coming out of the gate.
  • quadshock

    OK OFFENSE I SEE YOU

    Why do we keep doing that pooch kick? It literally never works in our favor.
  • NCagalum
    271
    I cannot understand why Davis just doesn’t kick it through the end zone. A pooch kick ending up on the 40 makes no sense.
  • CA Forever
    670
    Seriously, it makes no sense to me. I can't remember a single time that it has actually benefited us.
  • movielover

    OK, HOW DID WE SCORE IN 1 MINUTE??!!

    GO AGS!!

    Edit: they have 6, 7 tall receivers, most 6'4", one 6'3", which is an advantage in one respect, but they can't be quicker than 5'10" DBs?
  • CA Forever
    670
    Holy cow, the defense actually stopped them...
  • AggieFinn

    Finally, a stop
  • NCagalum
    271
    Wow. Crawford never seems to drop a pass but that was a major TO.
  • movielover

    Ugh. ... (we carry 1 more WR, TE, and 2 more QBs than ND.)
