PFF grade on the secondary is

[Other_Guy]

Their highest against a P4 since Iowa (and let's he honest, you and I could start in the secondary vs Iowa and look good).

This isnt a thread crapping on the team, so I guess no one wants to discuss

I thought the secondary looked fantastic. Still a couple miscommunications, one leading to the deep ball. Outside of that, they were really good. Pass rush definitely helped on that front as well.

Not sure why everybody is so pissed around here. That was a helluva gut check win on the road when things could have gone south fast against a good football team. I’ll welcome the bye week and look forward to us getting better. Not worse.

My only complaint is not stopping Bothwell more. Need to get better at run defense but also that's a testament to how good he is. Great pickup by State

 

[VAVol85]

Surprised that Fluff didn’t grade better. Pretty sure our safeties and linebackers would put in a good word for him.

That fluffy bastard was a problem all day yesterday.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

Will getting another DT back healthy fix that? Didn’t seem like anybody could bring him down without help yesterday. He was a beast

Outside of the busted coverage near the end of regulation, the secondary played well. That and the weird play in OT where the intended target was missed by the QB but it just happened to hit another WR in the hands.

 

[Vol8188]

We played an OT game and gave up <200 yards passing

The experience that Redmond is getting this year is so so so valuable.

We’re obviously short a few pieces. Coordinators know it too. Guys are straining w the hope for a tackle for loss. We don’t have that dead weight in front anymore.

Our freshman D Tackle Isaiah Campbell is getting a ton of reps as well. I saw him out there several times yesterday. GBO

Oddly enough I thought the defense did well. Several stupid turnovers gave State short fields. Lebby is also a good coach. Good win for the Big Orange.

The muffed punt and two INTs put the defense in difficult spots.

Yeah they were up against it all day. They endured though

Did you see how close he was to ending OT n that play that for them to the 5 with a pick?

BTW check the replay and the spot after the ref dropped his left foot closer to the 6.

Along with the fake punt. Defensive scores can be hard too because your defense doesn’t get much of a break.

People that trash the defense don’t want to acknowledge short field scores, sacks and pick 6’s they try to discount them.

I acknowledge those things were good and a positive, but Bothwell gashed us over and over. Definitely a problem to correct.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

The play Hood made on their smaller running back where he avoided the block and wrapped up for a loss was super impressive.

 

[lexkyvol]

#4 just needs for something good to happen for him. he's nearly in position all the time

I really expected more success for them through the air.

 

[njvols]

Yeah, in reality, if we play a clean game, mentioned above, AND don't get two horrible "nothing calls" for offensive and defensive interference, this game is not really that close...but it was, and glad we got out with the W...any W in SEC on the road you take it.

Maybe he is a very good back also factored into it. Of course we could have contained them better, but we did tighten up late. Yes we have to continue to improve but the some of the bashing of the defense has been way over the top. GBO
