I'm obviously elated with the win and don't mean to be a Monday morning negavol, but we did give up 42 points and 600+ yards on defense. One of the things I noticed during the game was that our stud freshman DBs - Todd Kelly Jr. and Emmanuel Moseley - hardly got any playing time on defense, while Brian Randolph, Ladarrell McNeil, and Justin Coleman played almost every snap.
We could have used some speed on two plays in particular: (1) the 85-yard touchdown to Pharoah Cooper on 3rd and 11, where both safeties converged on an underneath route while Cooper just outran Coleman to the endzone, and (2) the 70-yard touchdown run in the 4th quarter where McNeil took a terrible pursuit angle and didn't even touch the runner as he got past second level.
Were Kelly and/or Moseley hurt? I thought I saw them on special teams, so is there any other explanation for why they didn't get any playing time on defense?
