There are some positives that I’m seeing out of the TCU game.
1. We had some 3rd down stops. Great improvement.
2. The first Red Zone stop of the season.
3. A defensive turnover. I get that it should have been three, but one is an improvement.
4. Did I mention some 3rd down stops.
5. The OL is improving. That’s due to coaching. One of the problems we have had with the defense is a steady decline each year. Players have not gotten better. I see the offensive line improving and that’s due to coaching!
6. The defense improved yesterday. They were playing looser and except for the meltdown in the second quarter, they did a great job. The fact that they came out after the meltdown and played much better in the second half is again coaching. We made adjustments at the half. Who knew that was possible!
7. I didn’t expect the defense to be fixed overnight. But, I am encouraged to see an improvement. I expect we will improve a little next week too.
8. The emergence of Brooks as a good back. He really brought our run game a big step forward.
