We couldn't kick the ball deep and our KO coverage was equally poor. Opponents starting field position following KOs was always past their own 40. We generally gave opponents only 55 yards or less to paydirt. Many offensive playcalling advantages are found only once you past the 50. UL, on the other hand, found ourselves inside our own 25 yard line on a consistent basis. Our opponents moved the ball only 30 yards to strike for a score. UL had to move the ball 30 yards to keep out of trouble. UL is not a deep strike, deep threat offense. You cannot expect nibbler (3 to 7 yard gain) offenses to move 75 to 80 every series. It is a huge problem and we need to correct it.
On the money---Field Position----don't forget about when our defense held and they punted inside our 10 yard line!!!!!!
