After a little chilling out period and the Vikings game today, sometimes the margin is just about errors. Yesterday was a stinker on many levels, but was winnable. Winning teams make plays when they need to and win the turnover battle. The INT inside the red zone was a killer, along with the missed FG. While Rhoda didn't look great, he is not the reason we lost the game. Coach K says he adjusts on the fly to what is working and what isn't, well the inside run wasn't working and he still tries to kill Smith and Brooks. Coach K was not elite.
On D we couldn't tackle, nor stop a basic 5' out passing attack. While it is hard to get a rush on quick outs, our DC seemed reluctant to blitz at all. Don't care if you have some inexperienced guys back there, bring the heat on every play. DC was not elite!
Even with the frustrating coaching calls, this game was there for the taking. Hope this is a learning game for the coaches and players. All of them proved they are not ready for B1G play.
