Two down, 0-2, +\—‘s

i disagree on the dl..for them to be touted as a strength they have been wildly underwhelming for me. little to no pressure on the qb, dbs have more tfls then they do. now they have seen two really good ols but if we are supposed to be that good, show it.

dl: to be our supposed best unit, hasn't really showed up to me. not a lot of qb pressures, no tfls, los isn't changing. now they have seen two really good ols, so i get it. but they are supposed to be a strength so they need to be a strength no excuses.

vs SDSU (via team website box score)

Eiden: 1.5 TFL, 0.5 sacks
Parsons: 2 TFL, 1 sack
Eckert: 1 TFL, 1 sack
Crews: 0.5 TFL, 0.5 sacks
Brott: 0.5 TFL, 0 sacks
All LBs: 1.5 TFL, 0 sacks
All DBs: 0 TFL, 0 sacks
DL sacks: 4
DB pbus: 3

The defense held SDSU to 3.1 YPC and the only rushing TD was by the QB. Sure, they could have been better, but they were also playing a great team. Can't pile up stats on everyone.

so sdsu have 3.1 ypc and we think that is a good job for our defense....conversely we are saying that our offense had the same ypc and we are saying they didn't do good. which on is it? you are using the same basic stat to say two different things, lol. i stated multiple times that i'm not down on the dl but for them to be a strength they were not a deciding force for our defense. the lbs and dbs are playing better than they are. size is means little on the edge your ability matters most. i know for a fact that mcmillan has a 48" vertical, i've seen him being about 1-2" shorter windmill dunk off two feet, he isn't getting big boyed in the endzone, now he didn't get out experienced in that he was pulled down on the td and he was expecting that, you could see in his reaction after the td that hew as looking for a flag...but because of the kid he is, he stopped owned it and walked to the huddle. they have tackled fine....again if your dbs are being charged to be deciding forces in the run game your defensive scheme is bad, actually it's terrible. they have missed few tackled and have showed up with force multiple times.

again the dl has seen two really good ols. i felt they would be more of a factor based off the hype around what they were supposed to be, i am more impressed with other positions than the dl. i just feel they need to be what we all think she are. again we can agree to disagree on what we see...i could careless about stats, i'm watching the game and i know what i see.

If I delete the part about ypc will you address the real substance of the post: the fact that you lied about the DBs having more TFLs than the DL? Zero isn't a very big number. We all understand where you are coming from but you don't need to run down another position group to prop up your guys.

I think he just got mixed up because the 3.1 number was conflating unto itself due to multiple applications. 3.1 is what MSU held SDSU to and 3.1 is what SDSU allowed per carry on the season in 2024, not this game as I think he got twisted around.

A lot of fans are really bent out of shape perhaps prematurely. But maybe not, Idk. I just think you have to keep in mind that a) it's hard to win a game, any game. b) the other teams are trying their hardest to win, they aren't playing like the Washington Generals, although MSU has made teams seem like that over the last few years.
