We have shirts????
Now that we have game tape, the coaches will do their one on ones they've talked about where they show them things they did that were not fundamentally sound or poor and coach them up on how to fix it. I think some D issues were more scheme than players. Not all, but some.
It seems like I heard on some podcast somewhere that about between 75 and 80% of their passing yards last season came on throws between 1-7 yards. Meaning that it should not have come as any surprise that they were going to be getting the ball out that quickly. It’s only been one game, so I am going to give Toney the benefit of the doubt on this one and assume that he ran a very vanilla, base form of his defensive scheme, so it will be interesting to watch what happens the rest of the way with him.That Peach Bowl meet up was a quick, but nice affair. I know pics are lurking on this board somewhere.

So I re-watched the defense portion of the game last night during the FSU game.
Something to watch is the cushion we were giving Utah. Many of their passing plays exploited it. If they weren’t rolling out (thus negating half or more of the pass rush), they were getting the ball out in 2 seconds or less. For perspective, in the 3rd quarter an unblocked Utah defender forced AR to throw an incompletion at the feet of Zip (I think). The unblocked defender took 2 seconds to get to AR unblocked.
My point is, things we did on the backside were not helping our DL by allowing Rising to throw quick passes to his first read. Also, some well designed Utah plays to create space early on the play they deserve credit for.

Always heard about film review, but assumed 1:1 would be too big a time sink and limited in teaching. I’d assume doing review by position group so good players get the kudos earned in front of peers and others see/hear what to do right, and any mistakes are used to teach ALL what not to do and why.
