I am sure that I'm in the minority....but I would rather try to keep the AAC intact and build it. To me, changing conferences every 2-3 years is ridiculous.
No expert, but a well-coached team has the player in a position to make the plays, and then it becomes the responsibility of the players to make the plays. These players are not even close to being in the proper position to try and make the stops time after time. Games against Memphis, Tulane, and Army really worry me, and I really doubt they will call off the horses as Tech did if they are in that position.
Not to dampen the enthusiasm, but if it's possible, this team (Wyoming) is probably worse on offense than we are on defense.
Through 3 games
Points per game - 11.3
Passing yards per game - 115
Rushing yards per game - 87
So please, if we do not hold them to less than 225 yards and 14 points, don't start with the "oh, the defense is stepping up" or "wow, Morris and Caponi might be turning it around".
Players are caught out of position. This defense is built on player-reaction to what they see develop in each play. The obvious solution to an offense against it is to fake and fake and fake again as Tech did all game. Our secondary was caught flat-footed not knowing if the play was an actual run or a fake = burned.
