A very indepth article showing how CB is out of his.

 

 

Conclusion

 

Chuck Bresnahan, USF's DC is clearly attempting to trust his team with some reasonably advanced coverages and responsibilities right off the bat. Unfortunately, based on my limited viewing, they do not yet seem up to the task of performing these responsibilities to the levels necessary for them to be effective. Furthermore, his time away from the college game appears to have put him behind the offensive curve, and his defense looked woefully unprepared to stop some fairly basic concepts from McNeese State. When you add in the very shaky tackling and lack of a pass rush, the earliest returns on the hire are pretty underwhelming.

How much he and the Bulls defense can learn from their experience against McNeese State and apply in time for the Michigan State game on Saturday remains to be seen. But if MSU is looking for an opposing defense to rebound against, this appears to be a pretty good pick.

You could say the same thing about the offense. Our stats suggest CWT was asking them to do things they aren't capable of doing either. Like complete passes to their own players for chunks of yardage that move closer to the other side of the field.

Read the article. He broke down several plays that McNeese ran and the defense USF fielded.

Not saying our defense doesn't suck, just pointing out our offense does too. And so does special teams.

This explains what I meant.

 

Bresnahan has spent the last 20 years coaching professional football players. Even the worst professional players were some of the best college players, so there's a certain high level of things you can do, even when you're coaching, say, the Cincinnati Bengals. When you step back down to the college game, you may have to scale things back. Not so much man-to-man, not so much blitzing, not so many weird coverage schemes. It's common sense. But the USF DC seems willing to throw his players into the fire, even if they end up getting absolutely barbecued. Here's an example:...

 

[Bull Dozer]

The players openly admitted they weren't playing their assignments for a majority of the game so how do you accurately judge a scheme that no one is adhering to?

Here's an article by the same Sparty clown about the offense ...

Well the defense allowed MSU to score once. Was that because the DC was asking our players to do too much?

The defense, especially DeDe, looked much better. But like that MSU defense was the best we'll see all year, that offense ranks with the worse.
