1. Both DC's out-coached the opposing OC's.
2. Zero turnovers, but UL defense had a couple of possibilities
3. Our place kicking position is a huge deficit
4. Our OL is either not as dominant as we thought or had a bad game (or a combination of the two).
5. Our DBs are better, but still not ready for man-to-man coverage on a consistent basis.
6. Our team speed has improved immensely, but App State is still faster.
7. After watching the game, I still believe we go 9-3, at worst, which any of us would've taken before the season started.
This loss hurts, but doesn't discourage me. I still like the house analogy. Napier has laid an awesome foundation, the framing is done, now is time for the more skilled labor to take over. He has recruited a lot of this skilled labor, but there is no experience there.
We have an outstanding custom home being built, it isn't a mansion (P5), but it will be the nicest on the street (SBC) and probably in the neighborhood (G5).
Oh and App State was much more efficient on 3rd down, mainly because they were in better distance situations.
