Say what you want about Aranda but his defenses never gave up 623 yards passing.

If Pelini saw that man to man wasn't working, why didn't he adjust? Saying "Oh we're just going to keep running this because that's what we do" is bad coaching.

The short answer is that with the group of kids he had on the field, he thought man to man was still the best option.

I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but it's probably the truth. He at least knew the coverages were going to be sound and that given the pressure we were getting and the mistakes we were forcing, playing man were still the best option.

The defense created 4 turnovers, scored a TD, and gave the offense the ball dep in State territory on another.

The defensive backfield was simply horrendous. Flott was destroyed. Ward was destroyed (albeit injured). Evans was worthless. Neither safety seems to be a coverage safety. Ricks is talented, but the angle he took on one play turned a short gain into a TD, and his lack of hustle on another resulted in a TD. He'll get better.

It's real bad. Without Stingley, it's a disaster against a team that throws it around.

This is the exact thing that got Les Miles run out of town on a rail.
