Offensive Line was definitely an issue and concern during the game and huge running lanes for UCF backs. Our offensive scheme seems not to be working for us on the field. Also, how long can we beat teams going to our TEs every other down. Most DCs are going to take our TEs out of the game and make us win on the outside. Which is another concern because it seems like the HC likes big WR who can’t get separation. When do we make the necessary changes and adjustments? I believe in our HC and the program but we need to see a change. And that change needs to happen after Ball State if we look like the same team.

And this excuse of not having depth needs to stop! We need to start developing some of these players who can help us gain respect and recognition to help our recruitment. We were getting our butts handed to us and in the 4th quarter and we still had the number ones in the game against UCF 2nd and 3rd teams. Then I see 85 hurt his shoulder and defensive personnel getting injured when they shouldn’t even be in the game at that time. Our starting DBs played almost the entire game and not to mention they were hit with personal fouls. When do we get to see some of these transfers, JUCO players and hungry young players start getting acclimated on the field?
