Message: [QUOTE="Purple Stein, post: 5335008, member: 8205"] This was an awful loss and a disgusting performance by the defense. I can't get over how slow we are when we blitz -- we take terrible, looping angles and we just take a year and a day to get from the snap to the backfield (if we even get there). We couldn't stop the run up the middle. We couldn't stop the run on the edge. We played off their receivers and consistently gave up 8 yard passes. When Delaware opened things up our corners did not seem able to handle 1v1 coverage in space. Today the 3-3-5 felt like a 3-8 because I swear to god there was just no one covering the middle of the field from 5-10 yards. Given where we want to be we should be able to get a stop when we need one against a middle of the road C-USA team. We never even came close today. [/QUOTE]
