Hetherman had his roughest day at Miami

Secondary is beat to ****, but this entire season we're seeing how big of a loss Bain and Mesidor were. Some thought we wouldn't see this big of a drop-off, but we most certainly are.

I don't know if people will like this, but at least with all of the injuries, we're a pretty average defense. At best we're better than average.
 
All DC will have their games where they get had, but he has some blind spots emerging which are concerning. Neither the Nole OL nor Daniel can handle middle blitzes, we tried virtually none. We stuck with the edge pressure which they showed they could handle and were prepared to counter. That should have been our clue to test them in ways we know they’ve failed. If they sured that up, good on them, but I doubt it.

That's an area where the coaches concern me. There will be a clear mismatch somewhere and instead of taking advantage of it we just run what we always run even if its not working...blitzing from a mile away for example.

BYU couldn't get to Carr with four so they started sending their LB, a portal target btw, who was able to rattle him almost every time. We have a LB who excels at that but we'd rather drop him 20+ yards into a zone, which he doesn't do well.

I feel like he’s throwing anything hoping it sticks rn. Our run defense is good. I don’t think our pass rush was necessarily bad, just ran into the type of QB that I think our pass rush style is not the best style against.

I watched him while at MN, so I don’t think he’s going to struggle all the time. Injuries, ejections, and probably just not good enough players are hurting the scheme. Too many guys are being forced out of position imo.
