Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4801567, member: 974"] Against UMess our "prevent" gave up 150+ yards and two TDs in ten plays in less than 3 minutes of clock time. I don't know what to say except they named it wrong. This problem existed all season long. First drive. UMess gets the ball at their 27 with 13:25 remaining. 1-incomplete, 2- 40 yard pass, 3-incomplete, 4- 18 yard pass, 5- 6 yard pass. 6- 1 yard TD run. 11:52 remaining. We hold the ball for eight minutes and score a TD then deploy our "prevent" again. UMess gets the ball at their 22 with 3:28 remaining. 1- 28 yard pass, 2- 34 yard pass, 3- 16 yard pass, 4- 1 yard TD run. 2:03 remaining. This against a team that scored 6 points in the entire game before the prevent was employed. The prevent was terrible all year regardless of the half in which it was deployed. I know we have a lot of problems. But we lost a lot of close games. Fixing this one aspect of the defense is necessary if you want to win games. I read we should not be critical after a win. But it's tough to watch UMess chew up the prevent defense and pretend not to notice the ineptness. [/QUOTE]
