So I know there is a lot of venting today. I get it and I was frustrated too. But after our game, I really thought about the defense and I said to myself that they are decimated with injuries and I used the common refrain of "well, we just don't have the talent yet". I watch Montac and I think if he is the best we can put out there, then we have to wait for better players to arrive.
Then I sit down and watch BC play Clemson and I watch them tackle. Sure they probably aren't going to beat Clemson as they just don't have the offense, especially now that a backup is playing. But they are doing a GREAT job of tackling some really elite athletes for Clemson. That may change in the second half, but I definitely don't see them dropping to the level we have been tackling.
So that takes me back to my original thoughts. Does BC really have better "talent" than what SC has, even having to put out injured guys? I would be willing to bet (I haven't looked) that they are a bunch of two and three star guys on the defense. Yet, their tackling tonight is light years ahead of ours.
*disclaimer is that I have only watched BC in one half of football.
