Go back and watch the UCLA game. They showed weird formations we certainly didn't practice for and our coaches didn't adjust at all. They put the players in bad situations. When UCLA went unbalanced they had us out gapped. Jones has shown the last 3 weeks he is figuring out what these guys can do on defense and I have faith he'll fix the issues but week 1 was on the coaches not the players. UCLA out schemed us and anybody that knows anything about the X's and O's of football will tell you that.

Ucla is also the only team so far that has lined up under center trying to establish the run first and committing to a ground/pound effort. I don't doubt Jones can adjust but he didn't against ucla even when we put 8 in the box - most of that is on the players. Like I said not setting the edge and then missed gap assignments by the linebackers.

I'm excited for this game because I hope to see the changes you just alluded to.
