Agreed! Poor tackling, missed assignments and not getting off blocks! I'm not looking forward to Geno Smith next week! Glad to have the win though! Congratulations to David Ash and the offense! Hookem!

I think the whole i don't care what the score is as long as it's 1 pt more than the other team might be taken a bit too literally by the defensive guys.

It's not that. It's the explosive plays. Texas has already given up more 50+ yard plays in 4 games this season than they did all of last year, or is very close to it.

That's the biggest issue I see, that and blitzing on 3rd and long. Trust your AA DE(s) and play coverage.

Diaz puts players in bad positions. OSU had huge running lanes due to the way the lines up the defense.

you have to give credit to OSU because those were spread designed runs to take advantage of vacancies in space left in the defense knowing that when you send a man in motion a LB will always go with him.

With a true frosh QB getting his first start of his career?

Look, it's not a sin to let a spread team move the ball on you. It happens. I can deal with that. It is a sin to miss tackles leading to explosive plays and touchdowns. It's a sin to let WR's get behind the secondary on 3rd and 16 from the minus 8 yard line. It is a sin to let one player run the same play to the same side against your team with near impunity for nearly 3 quarters.

We were boned on the kick out of bounds call. It clearly touched the OSU player, and his body language said "I f'ed up!" from the second the ball was redirected to after it went out of bounds. We busted a well placed directional kick coverage, and we shanked a punt. We didn't do our defense a lot of favors, but they couldn't stop a wet fart this evening. That wasn't Brandon Weeden and Blackmon torching our defense.

I'll say this, outside of AP's two egregious whiffs, our tackling was considerably better though our ability to get off blocks was suspect and we were out of position time and time again.

Tonite was first night i ever saw two defensive players follow a rb in motion...the tackling and assignment issues are middle school problems

Maybe Gundy will go back to Lunt when he is better. He does have a history of making some strange QB decisions.

Yeah supposedly the OC likes Lunt more. Not sure why, as Walsh makes a defense have to defend 11 on 11.

Every team WVU included will continue to gash us if our LB's crash the gap on every snap and immediately take themselves out of the play. Santo's and Edmonds do a decent job of tackling when they haven't run themselves out of the play which is usually almost every down. Unfortunately most of our defense has zero confidence in themselves right now.

I share your concern on the D. But, man, this one feels good especially because I feel like we found a quarterback.

The ligaments in their knees are a little too well-oiled. Lots of knee-jerk hyperbole going around.
