Calvin had a good game yesterday too. He can make plays
Was yesterday really any different than our 47-34 win over UAB in 2014, which also caused a meltdown here?
Except for Jefferson, our DL got very little pressure on their QB. was their OL that good or was our D scheme that questionable?
Yeah- it turned out that concerns over our secondary and use of 1A/1B turned out to be unfounded in 2014.**Quote:

Hey, a new D staff every year is SOP. That is no excuse in year 8!

What gets me is out inability or lack of effort to dislodge the ball any way possible when the WR puts his hands on it. One TD in particular I thought Bryant could have dove toward the WR and punched the ball from his hands before he had possession. Instead he just looked at the catch right beside him and put his head down. A couple other TD's we were there fighting for the ball, but we need to just pull one of their f*cking hands off of the ball so they cannot catch it at minimum.
Although I only played football through high school, and played LB, I never let anyone hang on to a pass if I was close enough to either bat it down or grab one of their arms after they had two hands on it. Inexcusable but maybe these kids cannot grasp these simple concepts.
I agree with that. Durr has had a good year until yesterday as well. But he was in position a couple of times and just didn't dislodge the ball. Seems like they are always trying for the pick instead of knocking the ball down at times as well. Smokey looked a little better as the game went on. Peters also lost a jump ball that he was in good position on. So it seems they are picking up the coaching a little better as far as position at timesQuote:

I honestly thought after watching ALL of Miles' drops in the 1st half that he was intentionally doing this so as to get Damian on the field in place of Fitz. Reviewing game film should make the coaches ask WTF??? and call Miles out. Put him on the bench cuz we got others who are hungry enough for PT.Quote:

Myles shouldn't even be on the field anymore. He has had more drops already than anyone should have in a season or 2.
