Whats wrong with the defense?

BillySee 58:

It really seemed like the turning point in the season was the second quarter against La Tech. Prior to that we had a solid defense outing against Texas, beat up on a bad SMU offense, and shut La Tech down in the first quarter. Since then we just haven’t looked good. Even against Nicholls we gave up big run lanes, with their starting back rushing for 95 yards on us, despite not having a passing threat to back us off.

We have really struggled getting off blocks and wrapping up. Anytime a team runs the ball at will, you’ll hear people saying they’re driving us 3 yards off the ball. That wasn’t really the case, as much as they were just sealing us off and not letting us get our run fits.

Follow-up for BillySee 58. Totally agree with the first comment. The defense has looked completely different after that 1st Q against La Tech. So why is that? id they just get so frustrated with the offense they got into some bad habits? Or did teams figure them out?

SSP hinted earlier that this is a D that, because of youth, feeds off the offense. I would like to see how our defense performs when they are not staring at a 3-possession score deficit 5 minutes into the game.

Yeah Indiana really got out to the perfect start. Still, the defense was on it's heels all game. I'm sure everyone wants to start differently this time. I'd like to see them also play better throughout.
