Without the short field after the punt fiasco, defense really only allowed 10 points :ehh:

Im a chalk this performance up to the bye week blues. Better look dominant next week though :ufdup:


Y’all got Purdue, should be able to get your shyt together, idk what’s days issue, i think it’s a lack of trust in some part of the apparatus (o line, Kyle, other)

You got one more game worth a damn(psu) no one else should challenge y’all til us so it’s time to work the bugs out, but I’m going to be honest, y’all got too many holes, the sheer 5 star (lil Murda and ebuka) of it all will make you all better than 95% but someone gon fukk around and get y’all in a rock fight and y’all might run out of rocks

The problem is Day doesn’t know you’re allowed to run In between the tackles. Nikka must think the ncaa only allows outside runs :brutusDahell:

Glad that OSU got the dub but the running game is very concerning. This game should have been worse if the lineman can get to the 2nd level and out their hands on the LBs. Stuff like this is not going to fly when playing against Penn St and scUM in the future.

Run game is clearly the one area we need to improve on the most. Pass offense started slow then dominated. Defense gave up a short field score, otherwise it was 10 points on a good offense. Tulia had by far his worst game in a long time. Held him under 200 yards and 2 picks. Defense really impressed after a slow start. Regarding the run game, we’re not getting stuffed behind the line of scrimmage, it’s just we’re only getting 2-3 yards consistently instead of 5-6 to stay on schedule. That looks more like the OL getting to the second level. Tre masks some of these issues by being able to break a 60 yarder at any point. Glad he will be back next week. He was running around pregame and didn’t look like anything was wrong. He’s clearly the best back because of his HR ability.

The concerning part is that Maryland didn't have some super stout run defense coming into this game. They were middle of the pack and that was with playing anemic teams like Charlotte, Virginia and MI State. And equally concerning, although defense held em in check scoring wise and got turnovers, was how they ran on us and moved our guys around at times. All stuff to get cleaned up in the next couple of weeks.
