Hooo, boy.
Last Saturday...was not fun.
Maryland did a number on the Longhorn defense, but more than anything else the Longhorn D did a number on themselves. Things were a mess from the coordinator’s headset on down, but there were four crucial areas that demand major cleanup:
- Getting consistently out-leveraged on the edge of the box to create immediate jeopardy
- Poor force/contain play and understanding of assignments by the secondary
- Linebackers chasing ghosts rather than reading keys
- Tricky calls getting the safeties out of position for cleanup
That’s a shit-ton to get fixed in short order.
