Our problems on Defense are at 3 positions - the 2 DTs and MLB. We also regularly have our safeties out of position on run support.

I have no idea why the middle of the field is so wide open for us when teams run there. It is ridiculous.

We all know that if we cannot stop the run, we will get abused. That is what has happened.

The 2 quality teams as miles calls them , pretty much ran all over the defense, not sure why Wisconsin stopped running in 2nd half but until then they put up some yards on the ground. Defense is way off from what I am use to seeing the last 2 years. Not sure if it's talent , lack of experience. , or coaching

The middle is open because Chavis' 4-2-5 scheme has been figured out. It works good against TAMU and passing offenses but not so much against a multi faceted team like Moo State or a power run like Wisco. Look what Prescott and Co. did to get those advantages... they spread the defense out (5 receivers) forcing LB's to move into coverage positions on the perimeter. That forces a safety to make the choice to either come up or to stay back 15-20 yards to cover a receiver cutting deep across the middle. All you need is a good block on a DT and someone to occupy the DE and it's a hole even Harvey Williams grandmother could run through

Also Welter is not very good, he can be faked out very easily at pre snap.
