Elated that we won! Now, some thoughts on Guidry

Points Allowed (MIA @ CAL):
First Half: 21
Second Half: 17.

That doesn't tell the story of the Cal game. Adjustments didn't get executed until 8 minutes left in the 3rd. If you account for that then really:

First Half +8:00: 35
+8:00 in the 3rd and all of the 4th: 3

Guidry and this Defense are getting off too slow of a start. The adjustments are not quick enough to compete with the juggernauts waiting for us in the postseason. It really is our Achilles. We are scoring an average of 47.666 points per game. That's good enough. Our Defense needs to stop ******* around and hold opponents to under 20. Almost all of these points are happening in the first half of games which tells me we need an def. strat adjustment--fair--but it shouldn't take half the game to discover what the opponents offensive game plan is.

To be fair 7 of the Cal points in the 2nd half had nothing to do with the defense

Our D is giving up 29.2 points a game against our last 7 P4 opponents.

That has definitely been hurt by turnovers.

But this year Guidry is playing with one of the worst safety rooms in P4. With the lack of talent at that position and the below average CB room, we are going to find ourselves in shootouts.

Amazingly, Miami is ranked 18th in total defense against FBS opponents.

27th in yards per play allowed though, and falling each week.

For perspective, we finished 30th in YPP-allowed last year. Wouldn’t be surprised if we actually end up worse than last year by the end of the season if things don’t change quickly.

Maybe, but some of that is an explosive offense. Other teams have to throw it more against us.
