[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 763492, member: 282"] The good: [LIST] [*]Curry [LIST] [*]Linebackers overall did pretty well [/LIST] [*]Kicking game (really) [*]The right side of our OL was creating holes and getting a good push [*]Running back by committee. When they’re all good, it’s a thing of beauty. [*]Defense looked to be on the same page, especially offense and defense. It looked like players were hitting the right holes and moving faster (though there was still some hesitation out there) [*]Tre didn’t get his number called often, and I think it’s because he played well. I’ll have to look at the recording. [LIST] [*]We also have some young guys in the secondary. The light is about to come on for some of them. [/LIST] [*]Good play on the DL, including DT. [/LIST] The bad: [LIST] [*]Multiple unsportsmanlike penalties. Kicking off after 15 yard penalties is no fun. I haven’t checked, but I think we lost the field position battle. [*]Punting game. Kent did his job, but we lost the field position contest. [LIST] [*]Duke’s punter hit a 70 yard punt. Ouch. [/LIST] [*]Injuries (hopefully minor) [*]The mesh between Sims and Dontae Smith. This caused multiple fumbles. [*]Duke’s fake punt. Slick play on their part. [*]The left side of our OL was having a rougher day, mainly DeFoor. Maybe it was just a rough matchup and that DT seemed like he was having a monster game. [*]A couple of defensive plays with miscommunications—mainly in zone coverage. Some of those might have been good play design by Cutcliffe, but the end results looked bad. [*]The slants. (FWIW, a lot of people were blaming Curry, but usually it was someone else’s assignment). The best cure I know for the quick slant is for the DC to detect it and crush the wide receiver until the Duke WRs get alligator arms. [*]Backup QBs never got time. [*]We never solved Duke’s screen pass [/LIST] The ugly: [LIST] [*]Fielding a punt on our two yard line and fumbling it into the end zone for a Duke TD. [*]Catching a kickoff out of bounds, but really being inbounds (Doh!) [*]Giving up a safety [/LIST] The bizarre: [LIST] [*]Getting a defensive touchdown after kicking off after a safety and getting the motherlode of all rolls. [*]We knocked Duke’s QB out of the game. The next snap went through the backup’s hands and rolled for about 15 yards or so (not sure of the exact count, but it’s the longest fumbled snap I’ve seen in a while) [/LIST] Other stuff: [LIST] [*]Duke seems to use play action well. Somehow, we’re not getting the freeze out of play action that Duke did. We’re running more of an RPO, but wouldn’t you still want Duke to bite on the run, then hit them over the top with a mid-range pass? For some reason, that’s not happening. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
