T-Bob put together a few stats that puts into perspective how bad this defense is. I don't see how Pelini survives this. LINK to Tweet

Summary

quote:

111th in 20+ yard plays with 44 in six games
116th with 23 30+ yard plays allowed
124th in 40 yard plays
- Fun fact you and tulane are both at the bottom having given up 16 40 yard plays
- Diff is Tulane has played 10 games and you've played 6
126th (LITERAL DEAD LAST)
- Having given up 9 50+ yard plays

Our defense is bad.

I don't see any improvement in the secondary at all. Zero adjustments.

So... if we just clean up the big plays we will be fine.

So you're saying there's a problem defending the deep pass?

Currently the 112th ranked total defense. Pelini needs to go

In the Arkansas game, literally yes.

They'd either do absolutely nothing or score on a drive with a 40+ yard pass play

Two ways to look at it. New defensive coach, nearly totally depleted of defensive players and Covid mixed in. Can’t get any better excuses and can’t get much worse than that. Or could it? Will be missing 4 signees this year and next.how bad will that hurt the defense, do we forget about recruiting QB’s or some skilled players on offense to shore up the defense?

Drop the covid excuse...all the other teams have the same issue...

Go with others if makes you feel better but no excuses allowed from me...

Reload and million dollar salaries...no excuses allowed IMO

Not to place blame any one group but in this particular department the safeties have been the culprit. Seems like every 20 yard gain turns into a 40 yarder.

The last line of defense hasn't been there at all.

You never feel like there is deep containment with this team. You know you are always one play away from an opponent's touchdown. We are the anti-DBU. No swag, no fundamentals.

So if he had the players we'd be in the 60-80s?

I still don't understand why Pelini has a buyout.

I an assure you the worst coaches don't teach the secondary to blow coverages...I guess you think they aren't taught their responsibilities? whos is more to blame the secondary coach who we have had forever that is the problem? a guy who has coached defense forever? or the players allowing guys to run free every game?

Secondary Coach (I think Raymond is over rated to be completely honest) doesn't call defensive coverages or make adjustments play to play.

I blame ZVR. If he would stop being so good at pinning the other team deep in their zone they would only be scoring 80 yard TD drives instead of 95 yards. Those 15 yards add up over the course of the game.


This was all meant as a joke. Please do not take the above statement seriously.
