[QUOTE="prifle2, post: 48228, member: 490"] Excellent question./ observation. My first thought was turnover margin and we did turn the ball over 4 more times on the road than at home (on a side note we only won the turnover battle two times all year against Syracuse and against Miami). However 4 additional turnovers wouldnt account for that scoring margin defensively. The biggest culprit was our pass defense which was bad at home and completely mortifying on the road. in five home games Techs defense allowed 93 out of 156 passes to be completed for a completion percentage of 59.6 and 1104 yards. We allowed 7.08 yards per pass attempt and 11.87 yards per pass completion at home. As I said bad at home... on the road, Tech was god awful at pass defense. We allowed 117 completions in 168 pass attempts. A 69.6 percent pass completion rate!!!! That is dink and dunk level completion percents but we werent getting dinked. We were getting gashed. We allowed 1449 yards those 168 attempts!! We allowed 8.63 yards per pass attempt on the road, a full 1.5 yards more than at home. We also allowed 12.38 yards per completion which, in case you forgot, we were allowing at a rate of 69.6 percent. It is my greatest hope that Louis Young was that bad that he disrupted out defense, but unless we play tighter coverages this year and get a good pass rush, we are in for another long season. Better ball security will also help but we really need not just Dj and Lynn to cover but also Milton, golden, johnson, the twins, D. Smith, ,,..etc Good teams will use their third and 4th recievers if they havevthe advantage. We have to have our third and fourth cover corners ready to play as well, [/QUOTE]
