Holy cow. How disappointing. Tanner Lee is lucky NIU has some bad hands on defense or he could have had 7 or I interceptions. I'm at a loss for words about this game.
Just watched the game.

Yeah, I'm down in AZ and recorded and watched it in about an hour, lol. Lee really hurt us today. Was amazing.
The Davis twins look like they've got a whole bunch of nasty to them.

The Davis twins are good when not handicapped by diacos scheme.
The defense played well overall. The coaches job is to put players in a position to succeed. If they make a play great. If not, let it be because the other team is simply better. DIaco did some nice stuff with the team today, however....
It was truly disappointing what he did on their winning drive.
The past few possessions we got some heat on them and the Davis twins et al were wreaking havoc on them. We got them in 1 on 1s where they would beat inferior players.
Unfortunately DIaco decided to go away from that on the first play of that drive. On the long pass, we brought three. Their line was able to double team two of our rushers. Their inexperienced and inaccurate QB was able to sit in the pocket and deliver an uncontested throw.
Earlier he proved completely unable to make us pay for bringing pressure. We also weren't being scorched in the run game and blitzes won't hurt you there anyway.
So why the prevent defense all the sudden? He did not put our players in a position to succeed, Davis twins especially. (Can't remember if both were in that play or not, the point still stands.)
