I might have seen a different game than some of you...
I thought that the defense played very well in the first half.
The TCU QB was pressured a lot, we blitzed a lot (even the TV commentator stated that all of the pressure was not Oregon's "MO".)
I loved it.
Pretty darned good performance by the D.
Then, at half time, TCU makes some adjustments and we do not......
Then, through out the whole second half we do not seem to make adjustments .
I say we do not "seem" to make adjustments because I am not a coach and I don't know what DP does or does not do.
I do know this however: we had almost no edge control the whole second half. We would pressure the QB and he would go right or left, but he would get around the edge pretty easily.
We had no containment and it made it very easy for their QB to escape, time and time again.
Our rush would pinch down to the interior and leave him escape routes to the outside...no gap control.
Where where the DEs or the LBs?
That's the thing....they make adjustments and it works for them...we have to make a counter adjustment...in-game adjustments. We cannot just keep playing the same scheme if the offense has changed.
