100%. Indians did not execute well today. Either side of the ball. The o-line has to do a better job on run and pass protection and the offense needs to maintain possession and score. Otherwise the defense will be exhausted by the 3rd quarter. Crippen was battling the wind today but he has to be more on target to make this team go.There are a LOT of teams that would beat us based on what you saw today, by and large, regardless of the bright spots.
There's a photo in the PA News of Chance catching the pass behind the defenders back. He's absolutely awesome. That one pass he dropped that had TD written on it was the first pass I've seen him drop all season I think. If he'd of caught that and scored it would have been a different ball game. The next pass I think was intercepted.
I don't know what the offense did during halftime, but I hope they don't do it any more. They didn't get it back together until the last 5 or so minutes of the game.
We need to get on track this week to expect to beat ALBJ.
The defense is working hard but the same problems exist as last year that exposes a soft underbelly and allows backs to run wild in the middle of the field. Pass defense allowed receivers to get behind them too often today. LBJ is primarily a running team but anyone can toss up a long ball and run underneath it. Montgomery did it several times and LBJ will have the speed to do it even better. Special teams was outstanding today with the td return and the punt downed inside the 1.
