This game is officially BS. It should have been third and about 25 after a holding. Instead, it's an 11 point lead.



We are not good enough to beat the refs too.

It's hard to diagnose what exactly is the problem with coverage.  Are we just getting beat, is it speed, reading the QB, no pressure on the QB, what?

Strength equipment is expensive and guarantees you nothing.  A strong will is free and can give you everything you want.

and normally that should be a Cov 3 look. They only had two DB's to that side and dropped the LB's at the line into flats, leaving middle wide open.

Think back to last year ND's UTL game when we showed 9 at the line and dropped everyone. WR speed vertically > LB speed vertically

I'm not an expert so don't take my word on it, but my guess is that our blitzes have been getting picked up and those receivers running open downfield have now found an accurate QB to get them the ball.
