We were simply "out - athleted".
Our OL and DL either didn't hit the weight room all offseason ,or they didn't hit it hard enough.
Our back line on D (the LB's and secondary) took terrible angles and didn't tackle at even a JV level.
On offense, you can win with average playmakers if you have a great OL. Our OL is honestly awful. I watched run after run where 4 of our 5 OL were getting pushed back behind the line of scrimmage versus pushing the defense forward.
Maybe it's injuries. Maybe it's youth. I am not an expert.
Kill and the staff definitely have to change / fix some things.
That said, I now realize that we simply don't have the caliber of athletes that our opponents probably have.
