EVERYONE beats us throwing. Our secondary is a disaster . . . they can't cover, plain and simple. Every now and then they break up a pass, but the vast majority of the time they are either totally unaware of where the ball is when they are in position to make a play or they are completely out of position. I'm a little surprised it took them so long to go to the air.
And I'm not sure what our strategy was to put it in the defense's hands to win. Our coaches are flummoxed. Last week, all they had to do was run out the clock because Illinois was out of time outs. This week, Wisky had all their time outs and we needed to have a plan to get a first down--do that and the game is done. Not lamely run 3 times . . . 2 of them with our biggest, slowest RB. They were going to take their timeouts to preserve time. Meaning they would burn them all and HAVE to pass when they got the ball back. And they proved they had the kicker to win the game.
Game management kills us again. I'm speechless.
