Yeah, did we actually defend a pass; actually knock it out of the WRs hands? Maybe once or twice but I can’t remember for sure. That was the most disappointing thing to me: yes, we likely lose those battles most of the time but you have to win a few.
Secondary, where is the ball?

That’s an interesting analysis. My take on it is just that the AAC has a chip on his shoulder that it’s not one of the big boy P5 conferences, they have an axe to grind, and their officials were not about to let their only decent team lose to a team picked to finish last in The ACC.

Never saw Walker turn around to look for the ball. Always facing downfield trying to catch up to his receiver.
Sims was either out of position or giving up 10-15 yds cushion. I think being out of position came from their tempo combined with our inexperience.
That tempo was ridiculously fast. Running to the line on long gains in order to snap the next play. Caught us out of position many times and probably led to the huge cushions and confusion.
Game film will be very instructive and helpful this week. That will hopefully lead to better play for the rest of the season.

on the up-tempo--it REALLY hurts teams like us that short on depth and/or young.
