I can’t help help but laugh every time they replay that pathetic attempt at a tackle by Bootle.

That score before the half was ball game.

 

For all the accusations that the team quit by people in this board, fans were quitting before the half. Cool.

For all you guys saying there is no progress being made, look at Martinez and Washington. They are the future and everything will be okay.

They are talent. We still aren’t showing improvement in tackling or offensive line play.

Frosts teams at Oregon and UCF were all about the offense outscoring the other teams offense in a high scoring game. That seemed to work ok for him at those schools but I dont see it translating to the BIG. He needs to spend as much time and energy studying how to have a dominant defense and then decising his approach, staff and players around that approach.

This. A stout D that can stop and an uptempo O, would be a hard time to beat.

Wisky with a bigger line and a more disciplined team.  But our guys can't stop doing dumb stuff.  Although our skill guys are still playing.

I think the lack of progress in the penalties department and defense is what’s troubling.

Tackling is horrific.

I was thinking about TO and McBride. Charlie's defenses were mediocre for a long time, then he and TO decided the D had to change. I wonder if McBride can give Frost and Chin some advice?

Unfortunately there are 3 phases of a football game

At least on one side of the ball. 

Exactly. I’ve seen nothing from the defense that gives me hope.

Frost nearly lost to South Florida last year because of his defense. He is losing every game this year for a variety of reasons but a big one is the poor defense. He needs to overlook his friendship with Chinander and realize tharlt he needs new blood on the defensive staff if he wants to compete in the BIG.

 

Anymore changes would hurt more than help. UCF fans also were upset with Chinander.

 

Give it time.

Weak Dline. Getting blown off the ball. I remember when NU use to do that. 

[MLB 51]

DLine is getting destroyed, and the LB's are getting caught down inside.

Not if the our defense continues to allow the other team to score more points.

How many years has it been since we legitimately forced a fumble? The last one a remember is Gerry knocking one out on Melvin Gordon like 4 years ago.
