QUOTE="Minerforlife, post: 23900, member: 448"]While everybody has been worried about the offense, the defense is what disturbs me. Dont get me wrong the offense is far from perfect but the defense is atrocious. This is on paper our deepest defensive line in history. To this point they have been non factors. We are getting no push whatsoever, no qb pressures, i dont know if they know what contain is much less how to keep it. The linebackers have been bad, they have misread play after play and cant make tackles in space. Over looked because of the secondary play has been the fact that teams have been running all over us. We have given up over 200 yds rushing both games. The secondary has gotten the blame, for the two young corners its been baptism by fire. I think the two young corners will be great players for us in the future. With both senior safeties back i hope the secondary play is improved. The lack of tackling is disturbing. The defense was so physical last year.
On offense what disturbs me is the offensive lines sub par play in the second half. They seem to be worn down. I dont agree with it but i understand the rationale for the conservative playcalling. They were trying to limit offensive possesions by the opponent and avoid killer turnovers. We should be able to dominate NMSU up front. If we lose this game i will be really disturbed. There have been some insinuations coming out of UTEP, that maybe we played vanilla offenses and coverages the first two games. I hope thats not the case, i would be pissed. My least favorite moment the Kugler era was his presser before the Arkansas game. He talked up the hogs so much it was like he was preparing us and the team for a loss. I didnt like that. I still like and support Kugler, I like the team, but its time to win. Going forward there are no more excuses.[/QUOTE]
I find your statement rather disturbing.
