Message: [QUOTE="noeynox, post: 4384251, member: 156"] And tackling attempts were beyond horrible. Where we are today, we have a much improved and competitive front 7. The secondary is a real weak spot. Immediately after getting a sack and setting up 3rd and 15 we give up a 17 yard completion where the DB is there but was nowhere near able to make a play. Going forward it's going to take a combination of developed guys like Mitchell and Swenson and portal guys like Bembry and Bouyer-Randle, in the secondary like what has happened in our front 7. The play is trending in the right direction but this is a squad that lost Holy Cross and UMass last year and came within a whisker of losing to Yale as well. We got thumped Saturday, but were competitive physically on a lot of plays. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but both of our lines held their own at times. This is a far cry from those futile defenses we had that set NCAA records for the wrong reasons. The offensive play calling seemed like they turtled but I guess it's understandable given our issues at the skill spots outside of RB. [/QUOTE]
