[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 173199, member: 623"] I watched the defense again and wanted to make a couple observations. Gostis does not get enough credit. He is our best defensive lineman IMO. I know the talent level of Alcorn was not on par with us, but he was double teamed for most of his time in their. At times he out leveraged BOTH of the O linemen blocking him. He was a force for us on the inside. Hunt is very quick for a DT. He controlled his man for the most part. In a lot of cases he was on the "stay at home" assignment to account for a QB run. When the QB stepped up he made him rush his throw. Alcorn ran the run/pass option where the QB would step up into a lane then either run or dump the pass off. It is almost a shuffle pass, except the QB is running toward the LOS. Hunt took the QB run away forcing the throw. The LB has to step up and take the throw away. In many cases our LBs focused on the QB and got out of position. The run was not there for the QB, but the LBs did not trust the DL to take the run away or lost track of the guy underneath. I say all that to say we have a decent D line, but we don't have a unit functioning as one defense yet. That is not really a surprise at this point in the season. Milton and White are good corners. Those guys are going to get some picks this year. I would not be afraid to put them in man coverage against 99% of the recievers out there. I think we got in the head of the QB early in the game, and he never recovered which is a positive when you play against a QB that has played a lot of football. [/QUOTE]
