Can the people who know ball more explain the second half to me?

Even with a banged up team, you’d think we still have man beaters left in the tank?
We tried mesh to solve it and the protection failed. We never tried again. I think Dawson needs an emotionless person next to him reminding him of probabilities and things he has and has not tried.
 
Did anyone else notice Fletcher in the 1st or 2nd qtr let a LB blitz right at Mensah and **** near get him killed? Fletcher has been a beast running it, but that wasn't great
 
I think a couple things

1. Our big backs got injured which slowed down our running attack and hampered our pass pro

2. Toney injury hurt us - it’s been pretty clear we overly rely on Toney. Without him they went to man and our other receivers couldn’t win

As much as this left a bad taste I hope it’s a wake up call to this roster and coaching staff. To their credit the defense stepped and blunted their come back but the offense went into a shell.

Mirabal has some major problems to fix on the oline. The receivers need to figure out a way to be productive without Mali. The running back depth needs to get better at pass pro.

Lots of work to do. CMU couldn’t come at a better time to get healthy and for the depth to grow up.
 
Well our interior line didn't block well so they brought pressure there. We ran a bunch of dumb *** screens instead of going vertical and we ran up the middle too much instead of outside. On defense we tackled poorly to say the least. We had guys dead to rites plenty of times in terms of tackling. We had some bad coverages also. We have a lot to work on if you ask me. What I will say is the defense bent but didn't break and we finally got pressure on the QB.
