This is the worst our secondary has been in a while, could very well hold us back

Really?? This secondary doesnt look any worse than last years.

15-28 for 145 yards. 9-25 for 136 yards. Combined for 24 of 53 for 281 yards. 45% completion rate. Thats what we have given up passing in 2 games. But, according to a lot of people, we have been horrible in the secondary.

Have we taken some bad angles and made some poor attempts against the run? Yes. But, its not just our DBs that are doing that either. Our LBs need to take better angles and tackle better, our DEs need to do a better job in containment.

Hate all you want on the DBs for getting burned and giving up a bunch of passing yards, but they havent done that yet. Mills got burned vs a UAB WR and missed a tackle on a poor angle vs them too. Thats it.

And when you play a good team like TCU, they will win the battle sometimes and make some big plays. They are a good team with great speed and good athletes. Most college teams have solid players. Hell UAB had some good team speed.

We won both games, 1 in very convincing fashion. The other was a solid win versus a very sound TCU team But, you would think we barely won those games the way some of the people act on here.
