[QUOTE="Twangers, post: 1482875, member: 746185"] Fair and great use of the metrics to back up your analysis. HOWEVER, you can’t stare at a yards per play that aggregiously high and suggest that the offense is our primary concern. It’s clearly a 50-50 blame share and Lovie and the kids on that side of the ball need to take their part of ownership in that. After watching it back, I can confirm 3 plays that were potential 25+ yard gains if not outright touchdowns that Adrian Martinez missed yesterday where the receiver is essentially running wide open down the field. And to clarify, so there is no confusion, I do mean WIDE OPEN. If those plays were made, yesterday would have been significantly worse and 693 yards is already pretty ugly. We may well have the worst secondary in the country and this includes the atrocity that UTEP is running out there. Our back half defensively in terms of play and our apparent lack of understanding of basic combination coverages is an embarrassment. Quan Martin and our safeties are clearly not Big Ten players.
