We're finding out the answer now. It turns out that when you're facing a strong OL, if you can't get penetration, you give up at least 3 yards every run. If you can't get pressure against a good QB, he'll find someone open eventually. This is was the worry about this team all year, and we're finding out that we were right to worry.
I'm not sure how you could turn this around, the defense is just getting mauled. I don't think the offense is really doing all that badly, we've scored on 3/5 of our meaningful possessions. The problem is that it seems like we either get a turnover or give up a TD on defense, which has to change or this will get ugly.
+1 to this. I would say that our offense and Chryst are looking better than I would have thought, but our DL looks bad, and our back 7 looks just as bad.

Wedington is going to be a great player. Scarlett has no answer running against linebackers who are faster than he is. Wasting the timeouts started with Harballs/Roman. It's a genetic disease.
Win or lose doesn't matter tonight, I have tons of cousins in Fort Meyers.

I was in attendance in the stands in 2004 when we were up 28-17 on USС at the half. I still feel better about this game than I did about that one

Ugh. Just missed a sack on Darnold. And he completes a first down.

More great movement in pocket from Darnold. Marino-esque.

When he threw it, I thought it was going to be a certain touchdown. What a play by Holder.
Two interceptions are what's keeping us in the game... but we got to turn it into points.
