Do my eyes deceive me?

[K-town Vol Fan]

Ive said the same all year. We dont have the strength up front on either line. I believe this is a S&C Problem. Its obvious to me that we RARELY get a push from either line.

Now, if you were watching the 4Q, they were all backups.

I rarely create a thread because I'm not as knowledgeable as many on this forum. However, I have a question. Do my eyes deceive me or are our guys (Defense and Offense) just not as strong physically as our opponents? It seemed as if New Mexico States D line especially was kind of pushing our O line around.

I've noticed that we always line up and just think we can push teams around for a short gain but never do. After a long yardage gain we ALWAYS run up to the line and run quickly for NO gain.

This. We actually threw a quick out after a big gainer yesterday and got like 3 yards.

New Mexico State had 27 yards rushing yesterday on 30 attempts, 0.9 yards per carry. That's the best rate in 17 years. The run defense has improved greatly since Hobbs return from injury.

How many sack yards did we have? We likely had more than any other game we played this year.

Nothing wrong with offense. Avg. 175 yds. rushing and 330 in the air. Lead D1 in offense. Rushing defense is workable at 142 yds./game against the likes of UGA, Bama, Arkansas (Arkansas has the number two rushing offense in the SEC ). Problem is pass defense. It’s worse than bad. We started out the year with back up cornerbacks and Turrentine, bless his heart, can only be described as serviceable at best. Add in Boo Carter’s head case and you’ve got the makings for a disaster in the defensive backfield. That’s your problem.

Since Heupel has been here I've heard almost nothing about our S&C program....I do know, we seem to have a lot of injuries and we lay on the ground during games a lot.
