Yes, our defense is abysmal. NCST still gashed us big time yesterday. Ran it pretty successfully against us. Wide open receivers all night. Our 3rd down defense was the surprise last night. They were only 3-14 on 3rd down. All other P5 teams we played have been right at 50% or better converting 3rd downs.Our defense is terrible tho.. like how did we get this bad.. we cant tackle for ****, no pass rush, blitzes have no affect, ugh..
We also were fortunate with some key dropped passes. Our tackling was also better than it has been. Maybe we aren’t the worst tackling team in the nation now.
If we were able to win last night, then we have a chance against Pitt, even with our incompetent DC. I’m hoping Pitt comes out flat and unfocused. Probably wishful thinking.
