So we drop down to 5th ‘cause it was a home game and not fair for the Golden Arch™

giving up, what 130 ground yards? Luckily Arch was bad, because there were some passes there that just got missed. I think the defense was more lucky than good at times. Got the job done when needed, but plenty of room to see improvement. We pressured the kid maybe 3 times all game?

For a defense losing all but 3 starters that's a hell of a game. Yes arch missed a lot but they'll clean it up

yep. Decent, not great, just like I said. Plenty of time to get to great.

UT didn't throw downfield for the vast majority of the game because of the coverage. First downfield throw was intercepted.

It looked like the gameplan was to sit back and confuse Manning. The run defense needs improvement but they were happy to give them the run especially after getting the lead.

They also weren’t aggressive rushing knowing that Manning can run. It was a great game plan and executed well, especially in game 1.

the vast majority of those rushing yards came between the Texas 30 and the Ohio State 40. Give or take.
