[QUOTE="Pj4prez01, post: 75000, member: 296"] Well "soft" was a word that came to mind (and there may be a better word) to describe a one data point performance that had no sacks, forced no turnovers, allowed the other team to win the battle of time of possession, allowed too many rushing yards when we knew the pass was not a great threat, could not get the other team off the field after 3rd down, allowed a 9 minute "death march", and gave up a one play touchdown from the 4 yard line without tackling the runner. Certainly credit is to be given to Wofford and there is plenty of Jacket blame to share outside the DL position, but this was not a DL performance to feel hyped up about. We certainly know our players were in shape, prepared, and put out a good effort. This week we get a second data point, a chance for improvement, and a reassessment. I am certainly ready to abandon the word "soft" if our performance merits it.[/QUOTE] That's fair. My only comment would be that if you were going to grade off of one data point, the Tulane game will be a much better gauge. The reason being is that in playing an option offense, the dline has to do much more reading, and due to scheme, they are not exploding off the snap to get upfield so you aren't going to see that push. Having said that, no matter what the offense is, that 4 yd run should never happen (Stargell I believe and one of the Austin's at least missed the tackle). And then rook (41) missed a 3rd down tackle on the qb on another play. I am hoping these were just game 1 jitters though and the recurring theme of what would be a long season. [/QUOTE]
