What you guys fail to realize saying defense played fine is SC is a horrible offense.
The offense was not run be Nunez who played the week before and got injured. It was run by Orth who only made 5 pass attempts in relief last week. I still think it's hard to tell because the Defense comes out and plays well and then they begin tinkering with schemes and personnel.

What kind of adjustment would you make at halftime when your defense plays nearly lights out in the first half?
I should have stated that my concern is over the course of the season, not specific to the USCe game.

We play more backups in the second half. Our backup linebackers couldnt cover a paraplegic. In close games beckwith and debo will play the majority of the time. The defense is fine. If one of our 12 kickers on scholarship was allowed to kick the ball in the endzone we'd look even better. I like our chances if a team has to drive 75 yards but bradley dale. We gave up 378 yards to moo st in game 1. Havent allowed 300 in a game since.
Im concerned about you though.

The issues tend to start in the second half because that is when fatigue shows up and we start subbing. Also, note that the staff subbed throughout the EMU game, and for 3/4 of the Syracuse games, because they thought/knew they could get away with it.
You guys are complaining about the D-Line, but the depth there is at least capable of holding up and keeping the run in check. The backup LBs have been pretty poor across the board, and beyond White and Tolliver, the CBs are ??? as well. However, the staff HAS to play them to try and find combos that work, and guys (especially younger guys), who can step forward and play better down the stretch.
Look, this is what many of us, myself included, asked for. We have a more aggressive defense. If you look back and are honest with yourself, we really didn't have that much more depth on D last year. At least not with guys who Chavis would put on field. It is likely that depth played a role in his conservative schemes.
Now we are more aggressive defense, especially early in games, and it has produced a few more sacks and turnovers. However, that style requires more energy to play, and more depth to compensate. That is likely why the staff turns down the heat and subs liberally as soon as they think they can get away with it. That has worked ok since the State game.

I'm concerned that our secondary looks lost at times and our dline isn't getting much pressure

12 sacks through 5 games. 19 in 13 games last year.
Giving up 192 yards passing per game on 33 attempts per game.

We will see if we have a defense this week. I also agree I think the secondary is suspect. Also very little pressure on the passer!

The D is giving up less than 300 yds a game. Yes...there has been some broken plays in the secondary...our DL and LBs have lost gap assignments or during stunts occasionally...and Thomas was picked part by SC's best WR in the slot. But all things considered, I will take less than 300 yds from this Defense...now let's see how they hold up against the heart of our schedule.

I'm way more concerned about the Special Teams.
Every phase we are getting beat and it's disturbing.

I, too, am concerned about the way our defense plays when nursing a three touchdown lead.
