A true story.
Houston clearly has the better athlete’s, but the defensive alignment had me laughing as the corners were lining up in another zip code. Also, the linebackers are positioned to make tackles 6 yards or so downfield, if they are lucky. Additionally, Houston’s defensive linemen are playing patty cake with Fresno’s offensive linemen.
There hasn’t been a play when the Fresno State Quarterback couldn’t take the snap and lob over to a wide receiver for 5, 6, 7 yard gain or more. That aside, Fresno’s receivers are running freely through Houston’s secondary and are typically not confronted until at least 10 yards downfield.
There have been almost zero blitzes or stunts so the quarterback is simply setting up camp in the pocket every time he drops back to pass.
At any rate, I found myself thinking how much that idiocy reminded me of when D’Onofrio was leading the Canes pathetic defense, when it dawned on me that, that train wreck IS the defensive coordinator for Houston.
Of course with 50 seconds left in the half, D’Onofrio lined up in his infamous…prevent defense! Like clockwork Fresno’s offense marched down field, unimpeded, and he simply GAVE Fresno a field goal and the lead.
How in the world that guy has a job at any level of football is one of the great mysteries.
In fairness, Major Appelwhite’s offense is just as creative and attacking as D’Onofrio’s defense, which may explain this marriage of two morons.
