Our D is not good

You aren't going to stop Cook the entire game.  Or the Seminole offense, for that matter.  But you have to get some stops.  Which means you have to take chances.  They will beat you whether you take chances or not.  So who cares if they get a couple of quick scores?  Gets the defense off the field, and if you can stop them a few times you are still in the game.

Trying that prevent crap against the Noles means they score anyway, your defense stays out there longer and they score a higher percentage of the time.

This isn't quite there, but it is starting to look like the Cosh defense.

Exactly they are going to score and I expect Cook even if we play good get 120 or so yards...but the bend don't break hurts defense...just keeps them on field longer And makes you eat up your depth.  Especially tough when you offense goes 3 or you score fast.

Who cares if we score 35 when other team scores 42.

Granted it was FSU and nobody else has a player close near Cooks level...but that Navy game is a possible  loss if we don't score atleast 45+ I'm afraid.

I'm not too worried about Navy.  Yeah, they run, but they had Chris Swain and Keenan Reynolds, and neither of those guys are there anymore.  They've played UConn and Tulane, and beat those teams by a TD or less.  We should be ok.

I am not sure if it what the coaches are teaching or what the players are doing.  Last year and this year the defensive ends did not hold the edge and instead rushed in at 45 degree angle thus taking them out of the play. I would have expected USF to switch to a 4-3 so the DEs could rush vertically and allow the LBs and SS to file the hole a la WVU @ USF2007. IMO rushing in at angle took them out of the play.

Although there were some big passing plays it was the inability to stop the run that loss the game from a defensive perspective. 

We couldn't set the edge to save our lives and their OL was just crashing our DE inside. The talent and coaching on their OL is incredible and light years ahead of ours.

Rick Trickett is the best in the game.

Funny.  On some of the FSU sites they were calling for his head after last week.
