It's the ultimate prevent your team from winning defense.
Itās honestly the same as so many other college defenses, but some hate the ānameā.
It's nothing like any other P5 major programs defense that's serious about winning.
You really must be a child with your style of answering or trying to prove a point.
Our secondary is awful. Itās players. Not scheme. The scheme was fine last year with good players. But this fan base will continue to react in the moment and ignore all the context.
OK, let's argue that we're both right then.
I'll let you go first. I'll reply after you present your evidence.
Just wait right here for my reply as long as it takes, no matter how long it takes.
NU has not won a game if the defense gives up 17 or more points ... The offense can't score more than 13 points is a game. If this defense had a non offensive offense, there would be at least 3 more wins... Put the blame where it belongs.
Itās not all the players. We have a couple of weak players. Weāre playing one guy who looks like a 7th grader. Team after team finds our weakest guys and exploits them.
Our average points have been about 19. We had a pick 6 and still only scored 20. Not gonna beat many teams like that. Redzone continues to be our biggest problem.
Omg. It doesnāt have to be āall the playersā. The fact of the matter is that MH is one of the best we have and he gets abused. If we play zone, we get picked apart. If we play man, they throw at MH and there is nothing we can do. White is great. He canāt overcome the current talent he had available in the secondary.
MH is NOT one of the best we have. His size alone makes him an easy target. IF he were one of the best we have teams wouldnāt target him after play after play after play. I love the kid but heās just too damned small.
Not here anyways. Even if we had the Dudes itās not a good fit in the BIG-10!
We end up rushing 4 much of time. Likewise teams that run a 4-3 often drop a DE back in coverage. I would like to see us with bigger edge guys but our backend is a bigger problem than our front 3. We need to get bigger and faster at linebacker.
Donāt most of the best teams in the āBig 10ā now run some variation of the spread on offense?
To be fair, USC has outstanding skill guys on offense and their QBās run threat hurt us immensely. Hartzog had no chance against their 6-5 receivers.
We just donāt have the Dudes and it seems guys are ALWAYS out of position!
Who is better? When he was hurt, our secondary wasnāt any better.
They put the offense in position to win the effin game and they sh!t themselves. You can only get kicked in the nuts so many times before you get demoralized. This loss is 5000% on the offense and it's lackluster trigger man. Scoring 10 points is embarrassing and heads need to roll.
Right, itās pretty damning for Rhule and company who have been here for almost 2 years now, that he is the best we have
Itās easy to understand. EVERY OC weāve faced has attacked him. He may even be more assignment sound but his size is a severe handicap. Heās easy to find. No doubt heās more assignment sound than his backup BUT if itās man on man I want his backup.
Heās our weakest starting DB. Period. Not arguable.
I never argued with that. But him being the weak point doesnāt mean we have someone better. Those are different issues.
Iām saying that his size alone is almost a disqualifier. He had no chance against the size USC threw at him. He also let a WR get behind him in the endzone today.
I havenāt been able to watch the game yet, but I like the 3-3-5. What Iām noticing, and if Iām wrong, thatās cool, but the polar bear has not been effective this season like he was last year and that has made a big difference upfront.
Getting beat doesnāt mean someone else is better. The assumption that you have to have someone else that can do better isnāt necessarily true. MH missed time. We were worse.
Theyāre double teaming the hell out of him. Itās obvious as well that heās playing through a knee injury.
It's having guys that can tackle in space.
Exactly. How many draft picks does USC have in their 2 deep? 20? We are expecting our coaches to overcome years of subpar recruiting in two seasons. Yes, we probably should have done more roster turnover with the portal. We have no choice next year
held our opponent below their season average and scored a TD
offense was predictably finesse/pass-happy, scored 13 points
They show us right off the bat by going right after Hartzog. When we play him, there's not much we can do about it.
I haven't really charted it, but it looks like all year we've been very right handed when we get to the red zone. I remember a few td's to the left side, but mostly to the right. Or at least that how I'm remembering the season.
Could be nothing, could be something.
