I love Reffet and Ekeler's enthusiasm, but this defense has gotten worse as the year has progressed.  What in the world has happened?

Would be crazy if anybody considered them after looking at all defensive statistics. I think our staff will remain intact for a few more years.

I have a strong feeling based on recent events that Ekeler's Winnebago is already packed for his next stop. He is going back p5

Yes, it seems like most of the injuries were on the offensive side.  The defense just disappeared, UTEP obvious saw something they could exploit.  The announcers cited UTEP running straight ahead not giving NT time to do their usual stunts and defensive tactics.   Hard to disagree even given the source.

Defense had a lot of players not at 100%.  Some of them were probably out there when a player who would have been more effective sat.  We missed at the point of attack and that future NFL running back made us pay.  

We have gotten whipped by every power run team we have faced.  We don't have the scheme or personnel to beat that right now.

As what, a LB coach?

If the coaches or fans thought this ship would turn around in one year, they were kidding themselves. We are woefully short on speed and a solid front seven. 

Good news, if we get solid recruits in they can play early. Also we do have some pieces in the secondary and if we can get some help upfront we'll improve. 

Rah rah and enthusiasm only go so far. A few wins doesn't change how much this is a rebuilding project.

UTEP went heavy on us and came with double TEs.  I'm not a DL guru or anything, but I do know that 3 down linemen are no match for even an average 7 man line.  It MIGHT work if you have 4 all world LBs.  With 3 vs 7, you just have way to many free blockers getting to the next level.  

3 vs 7 is a coaching issue and doomed even on paper.  Just a horrible game plan to begin with.

Rick - Is Army really a "power" run team? I look at their offense as more of a system rather than power.

I'd think an offense that utilizes a lead blocker...or two...or three is considered a power run team.

3-4 turns into a 4 man front which we did when we walked Wheeler up as a stand up end.  We had 4 down lineman we just got in the wrong gaps/got blocked into gaps and it opened up creases that an NFL caliber RB is able to see hit and not stop until he's got 6.

We needed legit DTs for this game.  We should have used Hood and saw what has slowed them down in the past and tried our best to duplicate it.  The scheme was just horrible.  At times we had 5 players lined up, But they weren't linemen.

We have spent alot of time on Defense this year, are probably more banged up than anyone will admit and got whipped up front.  I had stuff to do that afternoon after half so I quit watching and only listened.  I'll have to take your word.

      Not sure if we'd hire a guy...as we replaced Jalie with a guy. And I think they like to have at least some women's head coaches. Found this guy....at Arkansas State. They're 26-5..... https://astateredwolves.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/coaches/brian-gerwig/980

      The Band

      I personally think that the playing music over the PA at times when the band would typically be playing has negatively impacted the cadence for when and how the band plays during the games. I don't want to be all old man about it, but if I want to listen to the stuff that is played on the PA system (majority of which I actually do like), I have about 10 different devices I can play that on myself. When I go to a college football game, I want to hear the friggin' band play during timeouts and between plays, when appropriate. It's college football, not an NBA game. When I look back at attending games at Fouts as a student in the 90s', I absolutely remember the band playing, and I enjoyed it then just as I do now. If they were playing other music, maybe they were, but I would have no memory of that whatsoever. Additionally, I know there has been some other negative thoughts about the band overall, and not that I have been in band since I played trumpet as a sophomore in high school so I am no expert, but I was absolutely blown away by the halftime performance this week. I know majority of it was a rehash of other bits and pieces that had already been done this year, but damn that was a strong close.
