Perfect! I'll be glued to the TV

First play on defense is a pick 6. Scouting report doing its job early.

If we get anything like the D from these first two series, I'll be thrilled.

1st Qtr

4 tackles for loss

2 INT’s

nice

 

#19 ranked defense in the nation!!!

[GMG_Dallas]

So far with 11 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, some observations:

Pros: aggressive pass rush, showing different looks at the LOS (pressure coming from different areas), defense flies

Cons: still a 3 man front, defense getting gashed in the run game. GA So's lead back is averaging 8.3 yards per carry. Gave up a 4th down conversion.

Cassity's defense is what I expected a 3-3-5 defense to look like. You're going to give up some yards on the ground game but you'll make up for it by regularly blitzing from different positions and swarming the secondary to cause turnovers in the passing game.

Cornerbacks are not lining up 10 yards off the line of scrimmage. They do have 2 DBs, I'm assuming safeties, lined up pretty deep though. It's those linebackers that have been making incredible interceptions.

3 INTs in the first half

Here's a list of the current SHSU defense entrants to the TP, along with their location on depth chart in case you want to be watching the play of any of them.

Would be nice to get a bunch of them to go along with Fields.

BTW - I wish sites would list players as to number years of eligibility remaining and not class.

Briceon Hayes with Sam's 4th int.   

Bring him to Denton!

Bring any of the DL guys too.  Good size.

Cons: still a 3 man from. 

Literally have 4 men on line of scrimmage every play. They will stand up one of the edges to be able to drop in coverage or rush on a percentage of plays. But always 4 on line of scrimmage.
