The stupid game on our schedule is the Fresno game. It has no point, although it is on TV. We should not play games against teams like Fresno or Marshall ever, no matter if we are terrible or are a national contender. One game against BCS level competition, the rest against terrible teams.
It's obvious that the defense is the problem. Couple that with turnovers and it makes the defense even more of a problem. Whether it's the 3-4 or a 4-3, we have terrible players. And unfortunately, it doesn't look like we've got a bunch of young guys ready to step in an contribute, so buckle up because our defense next year will be even worse.
Houlik is being exposed with every passing week, Walker sucks as an ILB as much as he sucks as an OLB, Childs is LOL at LB, Chris Patterson still looks lost 9 games into the season, Abana has shown no real signs of improvement, Ian is ineffective without a DT to his inside, Watts taught Chandler how to be a FP and miss tackles, Balkom is marginal at best, and our best defensive player McKinney (he's the only non-FP we have on the defense) will be gone next year.
