I know some of you aren’t ready to discuss football at this point, and I respect that. However, we will continue to play in spite of the tragedy early Sunday morning.
My grades for the entire game:
Defense – B+ I know that we held them to 13 points and 7 of those came on a short field. I realize that many of you would give them a higher grade. My halftime grade was a C-. They did play much better in the second half. They probably deserve an A for the second half. The biggest issue that I had with the defense was that we let them control the ball. Our first three-and-out came with 10 minutes left in the game. WSU did what Whitt loves to do – they kept the ball out of our hands. This hurt our offense. Yes, we had 8 sacks and 3 picks and that is fantastic. I believe all 8 sacks were done when blitzing. Our front 4 did not put much pressure on their QB without help.
Offense – C Again we played much better in the second half. However, 7 fumbles is unacceptable. Our run game was better than our throw game. I am not smart enough to know why our throw game is not working well, but it isn’t. I do think the Oline played better than they had, but this may have had something to do with the team we were playing.
Special Teams – B- Our kicking game has totally fallen apart. Covey remains a threat. We just need the D to create some three-and-outs to get Covey in a position where he can make good punt returns.
I am not going to throw any player or coach under the bus. This is not the time for that. But this is how I saw the game Saturday afternoon.
