Message: [QUOTE="SuperHuski, post: 4734828, member: 12894"] Please don't rag on Jackson. He lead the team in tackles with 15 tackles. He can't do everything. As bad as our defense looked with the missed tackles, it was not why we lost the game. In fact, take a look at this: [ATTACH type="full"]91130[/ATTACH] Two things really stand out to me. 1. NC State had 74 plays wheras UConn only had 46. NC State had 8 more minutes of possession. Our offense just could not stay out on the field. 2. Our non-Jackson linebackers are the biggest source of missed tackles. Plack stood out the most to me but Tui was just as bad. Last year, Swenson was usually a top 3 tackler and Bouyer-Randle in the top 7. Durante had 14 tackles is amazing to me because he's a safety and NC State rushed 60% of the time. Our defense is overall better than last year. NC State is a top 40, maybe top 25 team and our defense did their job overall. My biggest concern going into the season was our passing game. Last night did nothing to alleviate those concerns. [/QUOTE]
