The defense was better-ish

[dgibbons]

Kind of.

 

[SaveFerris]

We just couldn't quite get home on that last drive. Daniels killed us with the dump offs. Strong got abused.

If we tackled better they dont get those dump off first downs and time would have become an issue. We need to get bigger and faster in the back 7. Front 4 played better.

 

[COUGinNCW]

Kind of.

Need to create a turnover or two.

 

[79COUG]

Two big plays where our coverage broke down gave 14 points on a platter. Killed us.

 

[Ravenridge]

We were also oblivious to any type of clock management in the final minutes of both halves.

Agree, 79. And not to offer excuses, but when you shift around half of the defensive personnel, there are going to be some growing and learning pains. I'm thinking it will become more automatic over the next couple of games.

Except when it mattered.

Have to believe that there will be some more improvement since all the significant changes.

M. strong has to improve or be replaced. Can be beat long easily.
