Surfe, the offense was as flat as a week old glass of pepsi, but I saw plenty of things that need attention today.
1. Blocking on kick returns. The only blocks tried today were the illegal kind. Can't start from your own 10 eveyrtime you get the ball.
2. Defense couldn't stop anybody on third down, even on third and long.
Sure, they kept them out of the end zone but didn't seem to be able to get a three and out when we needed it.
3. Jumping offside on defense. No excuse for that over and over.
4. Missed tackles.
5. Immobile quarterback. When Clausen goes back to pass, he's COMMITTED to pass. I know he had a bad foot but c'mon. Shockley pulled it down and ran when he had to. When are we going to recruit a Marcus Vick type who can run? T. Martin could run when he had to and he won it all.
6. Rreceivers didn't seem to be able to avoid or shake tackles and get some extra yards after a catch.
7. No depth at running back. When Riggs goes out for a blow, the run threat goes with him.
8. Even the BAND was screwing up today. They kept playing "Rocky Top" after a second down stop, only to have to sit while the Dawgs got the first down on the next play.
9. Crowd noise was pitiful. Started like a house on fire but the house evidently burned down before first quarter was over.
