Blaming Corey Raymond is certainly apt. Did you see the technique used most of the day? It was horrible. That's Corey Raymond. If our CBs belong in group of 5 conferences, who chose them? That's on Corey Raymond.
I agree it's not his fault for Pelini sending the lambs to slaughter but to say Raymond is not with major fault when these are his hand picked kids displaying a lack of technique he's responsible for teaching is being disingenuous. Maybe there's a reason he's been one of the lowest paid coaches on our staff for all those years. Maybe the DCs were covering his flaws as a coach with scheme.
I'm not saying fire him or that I don't believe he's still a good coach. Maybe it was just that opponent exposed things that wont be exposed again this year but he's definitely due major blame for yesterday.

This Pelini's scheme with man-to-man against a Leach offense all day. He was able to get one-on-ones with crossing routes all day and Pelini had no answers defensively except to blitz which exacerbated the problem. Pelini made the calls, not Raymond and Busch. Pelini put in the defensive game-plan, not Raymond and Busch. They didn't have this kind of problem in Aranda's scheme. They literally broke records this weekend. Bad ones. The only difference was the DC from 2019.

I remember Stevens saying this scheme was simpler, but simple does not always mean better.

Lsufanva...I think this is a solid point. There were numerous times where the dbs were in press and let the wrs get off the line without putting a hand on them. Can't play bump & run if you don't bump.

Also saw the cb & db/lb playing the #2 wr lined up at the same depth tight on the line of scrimmage. This resulted in lots of easy picks/rubs by the wrs and we just chased. Sime change in alignment depth would have taken some of that away.
