Film Experts — can you breakdown our busted coverage plays?

This is what I'm talking about. Unsure why, but we have a mentality to stop plays for TFLs instead of executing proper technique.

We have eyes in the backfield all the time, as if we're forced to. That HB screen in the 3rd quarter, if Harris squares properly and doesn't fly in like a moron, it's a five yard gain and a punt.

Same thing applies here. Why are you biting? Just play your **** responsibility. This is why gimmicky offenses work against us. We get out of structure way too easily and commit way too many mental errors. VT was on Guidry because he kept blitzing with no purpose. Cal is on the players.

I feel what you’re expressing at an emotional level, but this line “We have eyes in the backfield all the time, as if we're forced to” I just don’t buy. Specifically the words “all the time.” However your question “why are you biting?” (all fellatio jokes aside), is totally valid. Hill and Harris need to stop that nonsense. Your next comment is indeed the solution - play your ******* assignment.

@Lance Roffers @Memnon et al.,

I was baffled at how Cal was able to fool our secondary time and time again. It feels like this is a carry over from Va Tech. Would love to get more insight here.

Secondary question— realizing we don’t have first rounders in our backfield, are they talented enough that this shouldn’t be happening?

The question now is will we all be baffled for the 4th week in a row at Louisville...

I wonder how many defenses if you take away the bad plays they would be good..

If it was one or two bust ok cool.. they ran 42 total plays.. you took away around 20% cmon.. This is from an offense that sucks also

It's extremely disproportional to have that many explosive plays. 7/42 = 17% of their plays. That's the point I'm making. It's just boneheaded busted plays not bad defensive calls.

Meanwhile, we had only ONE play go for over 30 yards and I think 7 that went for 20+. Out of 85+ plays. And we're considered an explosive offense.

Take out their 4 plays of 50+ and the numbers are still putrid for them.
