embarrassing only to the extent that all we've heard for the last 8 months is how much of a savant sayin is at reading the field and reacting instantly and the whole iron sharpens iron trope.
not taking anything away from IU... they were very good.
i'm not an x's and o's guy, but what i saw was a lot of shifting and stunting on the D line. maybe that was just eye candy, but i didn't notice stuff in the secondary that drew my eyes.
I'll be interested to see what the film break down guys show. I saw it a little but it's hard on tv.
Mostly going by how many times I saw Sayin double pump/pull it down.
Usually they kill zones. Last night they couldn't. It's a mix of all of it imo, Sayin was exposed a bit but a veteran DC and a very veteran defense did what most teams just can't do so I'm just not all that worried about it. Sayin has shown an ability to learn and he competed last night, his numbers were great.
He, along with the entire team, just got beat by the slimmest of margins at a few critical inflection points in the game. It's the style both coaches play, someone had to win it, someone had to lose it.
