Here's the reality of our team
Last night was just a perfect storm more than anything else. Like many upsets.
If stopping this system means rushing three and dropping eight, hoping that our QB makes the wrong reads and forcing the ball into coverage even when reads are open and knocking out Kylin we're going to win a lot of games. Washington did the rush three strategy but they also had a dominant D-line and we're not going to see that a lot. Really didn't last night either- it's not like there was a ton of pressure on KJ or anything like that.
Yes, Leach will adapt- but it won't be running the QB or a bunch of zone read plays. It will be adapting by making KJ either make the right reads or sit. No reason to change our identity and start installing things when the plays are there to be made with what is already there.
I thought Marks and Johnson looked OK- they'll be good but they're still adapting to the SEC. We've got to get Shavers, Osirus, Payton, and Austin Williams more involved than we did.
The defense looks better than most expected and that's a good thing. No one will mistake them for 1999 or 2018 but they won't be mistaken for 2003 or 2016 either. They play hard and just have to clean up the busts a little bit in the secondary.
ST has been very good aside from Tucker Day struggling and Walley muffing the punt. Walley will be a good player for us- it wasn't that long ago that Osirus was dropping a key pass against Florida. We have to build our team better so that we don't have to rely on freshmen as much.
