But man. That 2-6 bowl record. No way to get fans that way.
 
It’s rare to see CRS outcoach someone but he and Holiday are like carbon copies of each other. Nice job by staff to adjust at halftime on the zone read. Are our defensive ends just that dumb? I wonder if Shafer put shock collars on the DEs at halftime?

The formula to beat us on the defensive side of the ball is pretty simple. Why Marshall didn’t continue to exploit our weaknesses I have no clue. Defense is going to have to get a lot better in a week or Lane is going to have a field day calling plays next week.

We are so weak up front and at corner it’s going to be difficult for the staff to keep us in games with better offenses with decent QBs and running backs. It’s really hard to see wins the next two weeks on the road unless the defense can find a way to get better in a hurry.
