These next two games are going to be a lot of fun to watch.

Clark – The D was dropping back in zone coverage (for those following that are unfamiliar with that term it means that defender cover an area of the field instead of a specific receiver). Therefore there were quite a few catches in the seams along the way. That sometime makes the secondary look worse than it really is. But the zone coverage also prevented any long pass receptions and led to those three interceptions when balls were tipped or when defenders watched the QBs eyes and squeezed the seams down at the last second. If the three D-Linemen were not also applying heavy pressure at the same time it could have burned us, but they did their jobs exceptionally well and that made the job a lot easier for the guys in the zones.

looked to me like the secondary was still having problems.

I certainly don’t disagree with the preceding statement by Clark, but I am going to defend the passing defense a little. By some metrics it actually was a pretty good performance (well, at least average measured relative to other MWC teams). UNLV’s passing efficiency rating was 105.54. In all conference games, UNLV has managed an efficiency rating of 114. Jackson (The current UNLV quaterback) has a passing efficiency rating of 105.6 in conference games. Jackson’s efficiency rating was 120 against the Utes.

LOL. Especially the Hawaii part. Some friends of mine used to always joke about this. It’s like we’re Hawaii’s biggest rival and we barely pay them any attention.

I’ve never understood all the fuss about running up the score period. It’s just a game. They train for months for relatively official playing time. Let the players play. It’s what they want, it’s what the fans want. Unless they’re deliberately throwing long bombs with the intent to humiliate, I don’t think it should be an issue.

Anyone with better eyes and knowledge know what they adjusted?
