I think La Tech is a decent team. They are certainly better than Memphis, but we looked outmatched in every facet of the game tonight. Our DL is getting no pressure up the middle, our DE's are flying straight up field and giving RB's cutback lanes, and our LB's are missing tackles and taking terrible angles to the ball carrier.
Brandon Wilson played awful tonight. He was late on just about every play. Almost every time we brought pressure we didn't get there, and left our CB's hanging out to dry. I don't remember hearing Cox or Boyd's names hardly at all tonight. Our secondary is clearly the strongest unit on the team, but this dumbass bend but don't break, 7 yard cushion on theWR's, make them look stupid. Not their fault, but we have to start playing closer to the line of scrimmage as a defense. Our LB's play a lot further back than our guys last year. I guess maybe that's an experience thing.
Overall I wassure we were going to lose this game.We got 2 picks in key moments, and ended up winning. I'mnot going to sleep well, but I will sleep.
