...it was Jacquet and Garror, who had a fourth-quarter interception, who played extensively in the second half.

A converted WR and a true Freshman are our go to cornerbacks.

That should give you an idea as to how depleted that defense is.

Yup, and no one learns the cornerback position overnight.

What about Kendall Johnson the transfer CB from Nevada?

Garrior came in after Johnson was beat for a TD. He's in the rotation and I think he will be starting before the season is over at CB. Also true freshman OL Mitchell played well and I believe he has a chance to be the starting left tackle before this season is done.

He can take ownership as a good leader should, but his team was outmanned and out gunned. It's not all in him.

I agree with Napier, unfortunately I don’t think Saturday was the crisis.

I'm sure Sales' Neville connections helped as well. Neville has historically been an OL factory

He was a 3 star regardless of his size. His size was a drawback and his academics. He had to work over the summer to become eligible in August.

True, but at least we have a coach that can take ownership instead of placing blame.
