I am not close to the team and I know our D is young but the D is not good at all. We get run and passed on like it is nothing. If VMI and Newberry do us like this we are going to be in trouble vs the top teams in the conference

Hard to argue with anything you just said.

People will say it is because the defense is young but it just seems to be tradition at this point. I think it was mentioned that we only have 3 starters that returned this year.

Lots of RS FR or true FR playing a lot. But VMI is 7-10 passing and their TB is getting 6.4 YPC running. If not for a couple of sacks, they would have 130 or 140 yards in the first quarter. It is going to be 2 very tough games in the next 2 weeks with Furman's running game and Samford's passing game - but right now I am pretty worried about us giving up 500 yards and 30 or 40 points to VMI.

They have scored TD's everytime they have had the ball. Embarrassing

Sorry - I meant 600 yards and 50 points.

Considering VMI actually was able to hold us defensively and we couldn't does not bode well for our season. It looks like this will be a middle of the pack year, even if we pull a win against VMI.

Going NUCLEAR. Barring some type of incredible absurdly fast development on D. Our championship expectation is a far far stretch. Dont give me it was Newberry. It was an improved Garner Webb. Vmi is terrible and truth is we might be even. Might. Would love to be wrong but it's just not happening. Can't get off blocks. Secondary plays 8 yards off. Poor tackling. D line just simply can't win the wars upfront. This is not promising. But tell me our attendance is great and our band sounds good one time.

We may pull of this win, but you cannot trust any of our defensive players 1v1 or even 3v1 on the sideline. There are so many blown tackles...
