I must respectfully disagree. This is what young football teams look like. Holt was a genius two seasons ago. What was different?
That defense was old.
Then why does the D coordinator continue to play his overmatched son snap after snap? It's absolutely embarrassing. Put in a freshman and get him some experience. It can't be any worse.
Oh, so Georgia Southern and South Dakota State are 'older', so that's why they performed better than Purdue's D??
Coach Holt is terrible and for the fact he is not benching his son he needs to go. The entire defense is lost. Time to go.
I still don’t get people’s outsized expectations for this year. Thin at all positions, but most especially on the lines. That’s not even accounting for the continuous injury factory we seem to have on the field. Let’s just try to enjoy watching the young players get experience and have some hope for two years from now.
I agree that's it's a whole combination of a bunch of things. The one thing I do think we've learned over the last few years is Holt defenses seem to be best when they're aggressive. They might give up big plays, but they'll also make their share of plays too. The talent/scheme just doesn't seem to work when playing more "straight up." Playing "reactionary" against Minnesota (or anyone else the last couple of years) has been a recipe for getting torn apart on D.
Good point. Might as well be aggressive because we're giving up the big plays right now anyway.
Only took us 5 weeks to hand him the ****ing ball
They aren't even the least bit intimidated or worried about our secondary.
If we're going to use injury as an excuse for the terrible D we're seeing, then that is pathetic. You're saying Bailey would cover Holt's man for him??
I think Bell has had a pretty nice game today too
That is what I said. You win when you have experienced/talented players. When you don’t...this happens.
I can't even. It's not just one player, they all are playing so horribly.
Do you believe when a MB or LN are playing they’re only affecting the person their defending? There’s a symbiosis that happens on the field that is missing when a superior player is swapped out for an inferior one.
I'll purchase a year subscription if G&B outright asks Brohm when he will bench holt and fire coach holt
