THE RECAP:
- Defense, Defense, Defense...where are you? I miss you!
- Pass defense was terrible again as the Hoosiers had two receivers with at least eight receptions in Demarlo Belcher and Terrance Turner.
- The 4-3 defense is still not getting any pressure on the quarterback, we only had one sack on the day and Hoosier QB Ben Chappell passed for a career high 366 yards because he had enough time to set up a tent in the pocket.
- The Hoosiers are probably in the top ten in third down conversion percentage after going a scorching 10-12 on third downs, only punting once.
- I noticed the WKU defense taking bad angles, especially in the secondary, which is contributing to our tackling woes.
- Bobby Rainey had 21 rushes for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns on the day. Great players show consistency, can't wait to see him against Sun Belt competition.
- Like last week, we jumped off to a great start with a 10 play 91 yard drive where Rainey gained 62 of his yards and capped it off with a trip to the end zone.
- After the great start the offense sputtered, managing only 197 yards after the initial drive.
- Kawaun Jakes had his best game so far, completing 13 of 20 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown. Still want to see a more vertical passing strategy early in the game but was happy to see Jack Doyle utilized, albeit late in the game.
- Wide Receiver Marcus Vasquez made a highlight reel catch for a 31 yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. I was amazed at how he was able to get his foot down in the field of play the way his body was contorted.
- Many complaints about concessions during the game and after missing the whole second quarter standing in line for a drink, I was one of the complainers. Total lack of concessions preparation by the staff, especially on a hot day where there were four people in my section that suffered from heat exhaustion and needed medical attention.
- Please WKU lets supply more water to your fans, have vendors sell drinks in the stands, and have more concession stands set up that only sell drinks. Lines were way too long and it was ridiculous to be running out of bottled water in the first half when people are laying on the ground suffering from the heat!
- The losing streak is at 23 now and next week the Tops are at South Florida, where the streak will grow to 24 unfortunately. With each game comes more experience, more confidence in the ability to compete, and the hope that there will be one game where it will all come together. Soon I hope, very soon.
END THE STREAK
