Our cb’s are again mediocre at best and our safeties get caught out of position far too often so while I am also feeling “wooly” about this season, the truth is our secondary will again cost us a couple of games again this year, if not more
Some of that is because we blitzed a lot. I wouldn't say Ole Miss played pitch and catch- we held them to under 50% completion percentage. But the ones they connected on were explosive plays. Jordan Wilkins hurt as much as their passing did- we had two absolute busts in our run fits and that hurt us a lot.
So, if anything Shoop blitzing less and playing less man should help our secondary some.
