Message: [QUOTE="jdb50, post: 5359352, member: 1530"] I learned today via the article on Byrun Parham that Tyquan King was injured in the FIU game and has missed the last 2. Was wondering where he was. This may explain some of our inability to stop the run. On Rice's big run TD, Mills missed a tackle that would have kept it a 4 yard gain. On the long Rice TD catch and run Pringle got beat watching the backfield and then wiffed on the tackle. Those plays are on the players. I am hoping they all step up and stop with the poor efforts at tackling. Our D-line stunts a lot and it gets them out of position to hold their gaps. They are caught on the move and backs go where they were, as the O-line shoves them out of the way. Rice took full advantage late in the game. Just play your gaps and send a LB on occasion to disrupt the offense. We don't seem quick enough on the D-line to stunt and get pressure. Stopping the run game has to be job one on Saturday. [/QUOTE]
