not worried about the WR's?

i'm worried that they can't make tough catches. and holleman can't catch anything.

our vaunted LB's and DE were complete nonfactors and looked overmatched from the first play.

I agree the WR are a major concern.

As far as defense goes... is our lack of hitting in practice leading to a slow start and poor tackling early in the season?

we dont hit in practice because we are very thin and cant afford an injury. You can say that is the coaches fault - but that is the reason.

Our WRs are going to tear up a bunch of teams on our schedule-no doubt in my mind because CUSA DBs are generally vastly inferior, smaller and slower. Against Big 12 teams with bigger, stronger more physical DBs they generally have trouble getting off the line of scrimmage-especially our diminuative Inside Receivers. See A&M last year and Baylor this year.

Pass D will get tested this week. Better show up or be staring at a for sure 0-4, maybe 0-5 to start 2012.

I hope that someone will post the scorecard that RE Tycoon put up, Sacks, QB Hurries, INTs Fumbles (Forced and Recovered) and Tackles for Loss for each game this season, preferably showing results for all the games.
