very true. Our middle of the field pass coverage is pretty poor.
What do you mean? We had a pick 6 from our nose tackle. That's pretty middle of the field
....yards and yards eaten up by UH Baylor and A&M. They had around 500 total yds... Excuse me but they were wide open a majority. We are very lucky they had their 2nd and 3rd QB in.

And I think our 2nd team Defensive front played pretty well also. We may not be that bad next year with continued graduations up front. Really with all the injuries in the secondary, the guys that played were not that bad. Of course, without the constant pressure our D front was putting on UH, things would have been much worse in the secondary. However,with all these guys getting playing experience this year, our secondary should be much better next year. Most everybody is coming back next year in the secondary.

CB: Acker, JR Richardson are really good, Montes and Horace Richardson show great potential, and Parks and Gray give us depth next year. We will be good and deep at corner. At safety, Randolph can be a star. Scott is okay. Haness, Greenbaur, and Roundtree I am not sure about. AJ Justice was well regarded coming in and then got hurt. Depth will be better at safety, but not sure we are quite where we want to be just yet.
