How can our defense get so bad in 6 weeks?


Oct 14, 2017, 12:25 PM

In the first 3 weeeks, it looked like opponents cannot score on us even if they played 8 quarters. In fact I started feeling bad for that Auburn qb as he was getting sacked every other play.

Now 6 weeks later, Syracuse rb is running on us and imposing his will. It looked like he can rush 3 times and get 6 yards every time and pushing our lbs 3 yards after contact


How can we digress so badly so suddenly? Even though our offense sucked yesterday. I would have thought our defense can hold them to less than 14 points.

Does anybody know if Dabo will still attend the Bama game today?

It was a gimmick offense. Hard to get ready for on a short week. They played so fast with so much shifting and motions.

1) wrong scheme - we played a 3 man front too much and dropped our LBs. Either saw too much zone or really bad man
2) we weren’t ready for their hurry up - Venables needed to get the plays in faster or let the LB call the coverage

We are coached to play down to the perceived level of our opponents. ***

Our "Best Defense" ever team in 2014 gave up 40+ pts to UGA and 35 pts to UNC. Bama's supposedly best D ever last year got lit up by DW4. It happens. No matter how good a college Defense is, they'll have a bad game at least once or twice a year. We'll probably have another one before the season is over.

Dexter and some of the DBs are playing hurt too.

Exactly. That 2014 D that finished #1 in the nation had several games that they just looked lost. It happens.

I said before the year there was going to be some games where our defense didn’t show up and our offense would have to bail us out and it didn’t happen last night.

Good question, don't have an answer.***
