The tackling in the last two games has regressed. Our defense had been good about not giving up the “big play”, but that’s ended.
It’s hard to say which was more futile—the last half of offense against UVA or the first half against FSU (I lean towards the last half against UVA being worse).
We had 10 days to get ready for UVA, and we didn’t look ready. Then, we had about 10 days to get ready for FSU, and we didn’t look ready on offense.
Some of our defensive coaches will be snapped up for next season, if our next coach doesn’t keep them. I have my doubts about the offensive coaches.
What might be the most frustrating is that for two games we looked like we had the fundamentals and effort going in the right direction. Now, we still look better than the first four games, and we’re good at some things, but we look bad at basic things.
