[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 758868, member: 282"] I was hoping the defense was a quick fix. I’ve been hoping that for a while. That doesn’t mean our scheme is the best one to roll out with, especially against schools like BC and Pitt that push you around a lot. Thacker and Collins had a better ranked defense than us at Temple, but couldn’t hold UCF in check, and they also lost to Duke in the bowl game after Collins left. I’m starting to think scheme is down on the list of things to worry about, though. I also don’t think it’s all on the DC. Some of the things we brought in, like the performance sensors the players wear, might be a good start. We might have needed spring practice more than our opponents. Maybe some of what we’re going through is that we have a tougher schedule than most. We should still be seeing progress, and there are spots I think we’re behind schedule. I’d hoped to see a lot of speed and ball hawking in the secondary this year, and haven’t yet. I’d hoped to see faster and less hesitant linebacker play. We’re short a few players in the interior DL (or were early on), and that hasn’t helped, but lots of teams have a gap to fill for a bit Let’s hope some of the remaining schedule helps us get well on defense. The players need a good game more than we do Maybe I’ll look at the film and see what happened [/QUOTE]
