Bottom line about our O and D

Don't know if I have ever seen a team allow as many wide open receivers as Rutgers does week after week. Has been happening with Flood from AAC to today. Makes other teams look pretty damn good when there is never a defender anywhere near the guy being targeted.
I blame the O and specials for some of the problems on defense today. Not all, of course, but always a short field and little rest.
I tried to warn everyone that we weren't moving the ball against this D!
But our D has been decimated by academics, injuries and arrests.. particularly the DBs. It is not really surprising that our 3rd down D sux because it is the DBs that have to stop that... even if they run and need 9.. its a DB that has to stop him at 7-8 and not let him take it to the house.
The way this wholegame went is on the O. On the first drive, Flood relied on running the ball.. and made zero adjustments. You'd think a playaction somewhere around their 30 when they were cheating up 9 in the box could have worked. Same goes for every run run pass series afterward. We had these tight formations begging the D to stack against the run and blitz.. and they did.
So....remember that 4PPG against at home, for Wisconsin, that everybody told me was a "product of a lousy schedule"?? Well, if not for a pick-6 on a poorly thrown ball, believe it or not, we would have LOWERED that average LOL! Oh well...
repeated beatdowns are the currency for change. If change is what you want, enduring games like this is what you must do.
The true problem is it takes 1 drive for the opposition to figure out the game plan, they make adjustments we dont...game over.
Recruiting and lack of coaching them up. It's on the coaches. They need to be fired NOW
