Typical overreaction Sunday.
Biggest disappointment was D coaching/scheme not adjusting to stop run at all costs. Dude was 138 yards passing 0 TD 1 INT near end of 3rd quarter and we are still playing pass 1st, run 2nd like it is Big12 or Pac.
Defense was made to look worse than it is due to poor scheming and flat just got tired eventually due to O not doing enough. Would have been different if we had put up some points.
Tone was set when Crawford steps out of bounds on what would have been an early dagger.
WRs still not getting enough/consistent spacing but some looks were there just missed em.
Overreactions on Card, though. Dude can flat sling it and will be great for us....maybe not behind this line right now...CT may be better fit and should have gone in at least a series sooner....we were still in it albeit barely and would have likely saved us the fumble leading to 7 pts and the nail in coffin.
Oline cant run block and very inconsistent pass protecting....seen worse though in some recent years. Dline getting pushed around and no penetration again. Our D looked designed for typical Big12 or Pac offense and that isn't what we were facing.
Fixes:
Scheming to play run or pass vs opponents tendencies and strengths
Harder to fix:
Oline talent
Dline penetration
Controversy: The fan base and media will do Sark no favors on this. Should have put CT in sooner. Card still has great potential. Play them both vs Rice and then likely start CT at TCU.....though again you may see a very different CT as a starter than coming off bench with little to lose.
Final analysis:
Chill out and show your support
