Defense

[OldTimer]

It's easy to blame the defense but wake up folks...NT's offense threw interceptions twice within our 20 yard line, fumbled punts/kickoffs returns gave Rice the ball within our 20 yard line several times. Penalties halted a couple of drives....it seemed like we played well in the first half then boom...the turnovers started leaving Rice short yardage to score. Our offensive line looked good, especially the first half....didn't I see or hear one of our JC OL played in the game at one point. Hopefully they might lose weight, get in condition and provide help on our undersized OL.

DaWaylon Cook might be the answer at returning kickoffs and punts...he looked good the few times he handled the ball. Cam Montgomery looked good on several runs scoring twice. Nwigwe and Roberson looked good on defense tackling all over the place. Karty Agbottah had several good tackles...It didn't help that we lost Joseph Miller in the second half. We desparately need DT's that can press the opponents backfield and disrupt plays.
