[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 890124, member: 959"] From the previous thread about what we wanted to see in this game: [B]Defense[/B]: hit the target of 4+ TFL and our DBs had some nice 3rd down and endzone PBUs to force punts or FGs. I was pleased [B]ST[/B]: Push.. They did improve coverage on kickoffs and punts, had some boomer kick offs. Didn't allow any real big run backs but obviously two blocked punts is inexcusable and hurt us badly. The FG unit showed some life though so overall I got no more or less than what I was looking for. [B]Offense[/B]: We looked much improved at QB. OL still struggled with those False Starts (some was a combo of first game jitters and also the push Clemson's DL showed, but we also held up fairly well in moments and I think we will be improved going into this short week. I still dislike the call to handle the end of the first half how we did. It may have been the conservative call that stats would back up, but I think it sends a message that we had no confidence in our ability to just play within ourselves for 40 seconds. I am fine with not gunning for a block (to avoid a running into the kicker call) but hated seeing us not make them spot, snap and kick the ball. We saw DJ bobble a snap early on, and there was some pressure there for Clemson. Discretion may be the better part of valor, but sometimes you have to send the message that you believe in the team and the plan. I understand even coming out and just running some quick slant routes to the outside or delayed QB Keepers or something but to just say "we are afraid of taking the ball" is too much for me to stomach.
