Definitely need a better pass rush against LC. We got very close to applying effective pressure many times against LP but were a step too slow.
The significance of playing against a very good option team early in the season should not be overlooked. Although poor tackling was clearly a problem against LP and needs strong emphasis during the next two weeks, I suspect (and hope) that the problem was exacerbated to some degree by the limited experience some of the defensive players had against this type of offense.

I hope for our benefit LC has stuck with the read option setback formation haha
No we’re fine
Yes big test there’s even less easy teams than maybe we once thought
Our H backs are our secret weapons and we haven’t even begun to show what we can do.

Oh my gosh - I’ve been screaming this over and over. Kids got power- use it. Quit dancing around once he gets the handoff #27 (I think) doesn’t and makes stuff happen once he’s past the hole. It drives me crazy - HIT THE HOLE FAST - it’s timing.
Before the sensitive come after me, yes, we won, yes #15 runs hard - but he ran straight up and down like a telephone pole. He could be so much better IMO.

Yep. It’s brutal to start the season against LC and Huntsville. Glad we at least get the first one at home.
Any stats for last nights game?
I believe #15 had 209 yards on 21 carries. About 9.95 yards per carry.

With that line blocking, 300+ yards is possible for a back of his caliber when you can outrun the defense. We're talking about the tough running plays, when there is no hole, and maybe a first down, or even the game is on the line. When playing a tough run defense. Fundamental technique, when running, tackling , blocking or anything is always better. That's the reason for mentioning it. Not about the stats.

Agreed…Not about stats. About scoring at least one more point than your opponent…Winning!
I think that 4 or perhaps 5 of Bailey's 6 incomplete passes were to the same WR. I was impressed with Williams, though, with a couple of clutch catches. They were guarding Nunley close, not letting him get free down field, so Williams would come underneath Nunley's coverage for a reception. There was nothing wrong with the offense, overall.
Overall, this season's defense doesn't appear to have the speed of last season's D, but that's the way it is sometimes, year to year.

Can't say for certain but he did have neck surgery last summer. Maybe this is related to that?
Definitely need other guys to step up with the attention Nunley will be getting.
