    You're totally missing the boat.

    We have speed to burn. Trust me.

    We are out of position way too often. It's a coaching thing. Trust me we have just as talented a set of players as we have had the past 5 years on D.

    Our defense does have great speed for the most part. They simply seem to be out of position a lot. Coordinator problem. Oops same point.

    I can show you the recruiting classes of the past 3 years since Weis has been there if you wish.

    When was the last time anyone hung 50+ on us? It's been a while.

    90's flashbacks are killing me tonight. :(

    I actually didn't see it.

    I thought we were beating those teams so badly that we were going through the motions at times. That's what I chalked it up to.

    And beating Auburn at Auburn, with the D playing good for most of the game (Auburn only scored 14 points on us).

    I didn't see this coming at all.

    And no one on here said anything about Florida hanging 51, not even 41, not even 35.

    Not one poster on this board.

    So it's a little late to come with this.

    This is the first time a CLM team has looked unprepared with an extra week to GET prepared.

    Still, I've gotta say that the Florida offense we saw tonight was NOTHING like what they've done earlier this year. They were flat out terrifying! Too many options....all of 'em fast. However, the Tigers were not tackling well even when they made early contact with the ball carrier. Too many misses and near misses.

    This game was what used to be called a "good old-fashioned country ass-whipping".
