The View From Section 241 — Rice

[History Geek]

One at a time is the usual refrain, so let's beat USF. If we do, and confidence from better execution continues to grow, 6 wins is not beyond our reach.

Massive if, but yes.

What has regressed with the defense from last year is tackling and I'm not sure why. We have now played 6 games, so I think this point is relevant: Based on what our opponents have averaged for offensive yards vs. how many UConn has allowed, the difference for the 6 games is -19 yards. So, we are basically allowing the opponents to gain as many yards as they are currently averaging. Three games UConn gave up less yards than their average and 3 games they have given up more.

We haven't just regressed. We've become one of the worst tackling teams in the country.

Gotta train the same way you play in a game, with the same intensity. If that is no longer possible, then that is a major problem for team who are not good at tackling.

Ask Mikaela Shiffrin. Of course skiing is not a contact sport ... until you crash at race speed. Then it most certainly is.

It's kinda surprising...Mora is a defensive guy. You would think this would be a strength of the defense.

No substitute for having a dedicated DC rather than some part of the HC.
