I do feel like the D was better, overall. We didn’t give up the big passing play, which is something we were all concerned about. I have similar questions to what Rich asked a few posts back. The guys calling the game on the live stream were indicating that we were in a nickel package much (most?) of the game. I think that’s the lineup Rich described, too. Unless I’m missing something, that only leave 6 in the box. Seems like a tough way to stop the rush, and makes 4.1 per carry seem pretty good.
I was bothered by what appeared to be lack of adjustments though. Late in the game, the guys in the booth were basically calling Monmouth’s plays, pre-snap. In that pistol-looking set, they’d send the tailback out to the flat, and nobody on D went with him. There has to be a better way to attack that, no?
