Defense
Linebackers were great.
We seem to not be containing well on the edges. On WSU’s outside runs there seemed to be nobody home. Not seeing much of a rush from the outside either.
Our DB’s are often giving large cushions, even at or past the first down marker. Used to seeing tighter coverage. Probably because of injuries and trying to prevent the long ball. That said, right when we were discussing the big cushion at the game, we make a pick 6.
Offense
Eliminate the turnovers and the game could have won by 2-3 more TD’s.
Need to get the receivers more involved. Not much in terms of stretching the defense. Not many long passes, but the one down the right sideline toward the south endzone was a beauty.
Offensive line is improving but has a long way to go. Long.
Special Teams
Kickoffs were finally good. We should eliminate the possibility of a runback by kicking it out of the end zone every time. We’ve proven our kick cover isn’t great so why not?
Covey is great. Glad we have him for another 12 years.
The missed FG was a mojo killer.
Concern
We struggled for most of the game against a mediocre team. This has me quite worried. Much more talented opponents are coming up on the schedule. UCLA, USC, Oregon, ASU, Washington….
BYU @
