That's true. The DB's were struggling last night, particularly in the second half. Alexander was thrust into the game because of the injury to Wiggins, and showed why he only returned punts (which he did well). Washington was beat consistently. Perhaps the ejection to Burgess showed up more in pass defense than it did in run defense. Regardless, we definitely need improvement there next year.I am good with the staff, however I have concerns about our secondary. We gave up over 300 yards to a perceived 3rd string QB and was a dropped pass that was overturned from having them on the 8 yard line with a chance to win the game. Every time they threw a pass downfield it seemed there wasn't a card within 5-10 yards.
Washington was playing against their best receiver who happens to be 6" taller than him. While it sucked that Burgess was ejected, his replacement Stacy Thomas is a complete stud and lead the team in tackles for the game. We are a young team and getting better every game.That's true.

Maybe a third string QB but based on stats he probably played better than the two guys who left. I was impressed with the kid, actually.
