when all you read the last week was how prepared and improved they were...
Heard that nonsense before. This was Helton's "we'll have to look at the tape" bs.
Again, all of this goes back to Riley. He gave grinch all the rope he needed to hang himself and that's exactly what he did. Now it's on Riley to fix the situation, or his neck is gonna be in the noose.
The offensive game plan showed the defense wasn't ready. It lloked like it was designed to keep the SC defense off the field. In a sense, the plan succeeded. The D was only on the field for 20 minutes, but still gave up 550 yards and 46 points.
The defensive nightmare boils down to ONE thing, same thing that Helton suffered from. Shit tackling!! When you don't tackle in practice, shocking...you can't tackle in the game.
