I mean, yeah. The team is 60% (!!!!!) freshman eligible with an even younger defense than last year. This isn’t going to be a surprise year. The only thing I’m disappointed with so far is McDonald’s play after how much he was talked up.guest44 wrote:Do we still think this coaching staff looks even remotely similar to anything Clawson showed early on?

UT's defense is swarming. Far more disciplined than last year.
Our offense ... score says it all.
Too many freshmen playing to be successful.

We should be playing a promising freshman at quarterback that will be with us for another three years.

Re: Game Night Toledo!
So we are using the Jinks excuses regarding youth when the eyeballs show a hot mess. Regarding the Toledo defense, could have hired that DC or McElwain.
Re: Game Night Toledo!
Youth ... that aren't in prison. And aren't dropping the team at alarming rates. This is 2010, not 2018. And remember, the 2011 team was also around half freshmen.

Loy and Doege might both still be here if McDonald wasn’t!
Re: Game Night Toledo!
I can't get a good judgment yet on McDonald. Between the offensive line not holding him up and receivers not getting separation, it is hard determining how much of the passing game woes are on him.
But defense has been remarkably improved in recent drives. Offense not taking advantage.

Re: Game Night Toledo!
All things considered, I’m pretty happy with the improvements on defense so far. Points are mostly due to an anemic offense. Tackling is definitely better, and I really like Johnson-Mack’s ability as a defender.

Special teams, offense and defense each responsible for 1 TU TD each. 21-0 at half looks pretty good after that 1st quarter disaster.

Re: Game Night Toledo!
Defense responded in the second quarter. It’s a shame the offense hasn’t returned any favors.

It’s not my point of view, it’s a fact.

Re: Game Night Toledo!
I dunno if McDonald isn't comfortable or what but tonight he doesn't look like a QB who should be playing D1 football.
