Maybe that is where or dc and defense is now?

ESPN announcers were all over our defensive ineptness.   Saying we needed to get bigger up front and overall on defense, to poor tackling and poor strategy with 3 safeties defending a rushing offense.

We didn't have 3 safeties defending at any point.  The announcers are idiots. We actually had 3 corners and 1 safety a lot of the time while playing man.

Tulane schemed so that our corners had to play run support, and they got run over.  We never made any adjustments and just took our butt whippin.

We never move the nose off the center.  We are very predictable about where we will line up.  We line up EXACTLY where we did on the last film.  Nothing to adjust.  Just run the plays against us like you did in practice.

But we never ran 3 safeties.

Ok, whatever.  But we did have three players playing deep, in safety-like positions, three across....they showed it....more than once.

Nevermind.  My fault for posting.  I know better than to do that after a loss.  Lost my mind for a moment.

 

No, you're good.  It was a tough game for fans to endure and watch.  So much potential again, like many big home game opportunities in the past, wasted.

I read the depth chart and see that our linebackers are all listed between 230-240…but my eyes tell me they are 20lbs lighter and they definitely play like they are.  It is rare to see our linebackers hit and drive the ball carrier back.  We almost always get drug another 2 yards.  So all that to say I can see why the announcers would look out there and see 24 or 36 and confuse them as another safety on the field.

After our game yesterday I watched the Baylor Oklahoma state game.  OSU has guys with prototypical size in their front 7, but they might be even worse than us at defending the run.  They gave up over 350 to Baylor.
