There wasn't a need for an adjustment per se. We had made certain alignment concessions in order to stop the run. USF stretches the defense as wide as possible then uses motion to gain easy leverage in the passing game. Add the break neck pace and you have an offense that is incredibly difficult to stop.

You can't just assume that everything that is given up is a flaw that needs adjustment. Sometimes we have to pick our poison too. The only adjustment that was necessary with the slot coverage was Daryl Porter tightening up a bit. He played Atkins a bit passively at first but corrected that in the second half. You have to understand that Atkins was motioning across the formation then getting into his routes. Add the pace they play at and it's not difficult to see why anyone would struggle in that situation. That's a long way to run around for any CB.

Halftime at Louisville? You mean that game where we went against a potent offensive team with most of our DL missing or banged up? I'm afraid the bottom just fell out that game after battling the last 3 games.

With UNC we were going against a QB Maye who was a top 3 pick in the draft plus a big fast physical WR going against a secondary consisting of slow CBs and safeties who were constantly freelancing. That's a really bad combination. Sometimes the other team is just better.

Lance Guidry is the best DC we have had here since Sonny Lubbick.

Thanks you said all I was gonna say! You have to keep the integrity of the defense in place while also keeping your best corner on their best WR. If you notice as the game went on we started to bump a guy over instead of having porter chase him all the way across. Now it’s a little bit more risky cause they may have a match up with someone other than Porter if in man or you bracket him with 2 playing inside out. We play way more cover 1 now that OJ the Juiceman is playing outside. We’ll see if we continue with us going to conference play

Except that his defenses have sucked week after week this year. He had some players last year that likely masked some of his deficiencies and we as a fanbase had set the bar so **** low prior to his arrival. Marshall is where he should have remained.

This is a brutal mixture of -

+ Coaching hubris. Every coach has an ego.
+ Chicken **** Safety and Corner talent.
+ Freshmen unable to pick up the scheme fast enough to mask #1 and #2.

This defense is the equivalent of the pan catching fire and knocking the crisco into it as you run for the fire extinguisher.

All asses are getting burned from all angles, at the same time.

This is a great example of the wisdom of Ghandi.
