I would also say that giving up the big play, specifically on the ground is one of our biggest problems. It seems our run defense will be looking good and then give up a 63 yarder.
You have to go back to the first game to find a “big play” over 30 yds. on the ground. The good runs but hardly big plays of 63 yards vs ODU can be attributed to our legitimate concern for the passing ability of last year’s Walter Payton Award winner.
ODU
total rushing 196 yds
Long of 30 yds
average of 5.3
USF
total rushing 70 yds
Long of 21
PC
total rushing 122 yds
Long of 16
If “giving up the big play, specifically on the ground is one of our biggest problems.” then we have less to worry about than I thought.
