What Did We Learn? - Bethune-Cookman

Noah Vedral has a long way to go.

2nd string OL as a unit wasn’t great but not sure what anyone expected based on our starters

Defense is getting there but it’s not getting there fast enough

Overall, the decision to play this game was the correct one, imo

 
Bethune Cookman has players who play with a lot of heart.

Nobody will call for backup linemen or quarterback the rest of the season.

We didn't give much away to Ohio State.

Runza should start a big ad campaign when we play teams in the Chicago area.

Defense is a concern yes,  but Chin let it slip at half in a comment to reporter that they can't run what he wants to yet with where the kids are.  Stuck in more zone than he'd like.  A full year in the system and some new blood should help.

Defense is won on the recruiting trail. So much has been said about how that 1997 Nebraska team was built on Nebraska kids. Not much is said about how the offense was and the defense wasn't. That defense was built on athletes recruited from coast to coast. Offenses have a much easier time solving problems through scheme than defenses do. 

I still question if Chins gets this done, but he absolutely doesn't have the players needed, in particular at OLB. Get him a couple of real threats there that he can move around and cause confusion with and this defense as a whole takes an enormous jump. I'd easily trade recruiting victories for actual victories at this point.

 
I learned that the tailgating was really bad today (I heard that while at the bars in Lincoln) and that the bars were pretty dead...but still fun!

 
The 2nd/3rd string lines look like they need an offseason or 2 in the weight room and follow the nutrition plan.

The team lacks depth, but for many seasons now with the lack of blow out wins, we just haven’t had the opportunity to get meaningful game reps to develop the backups.  I was glad to see them get in today.
