I don't think it is an overreaction to say that we were facing 2nd and 3rd stringer offensive players for most of the game and still got pushed around. Now that said, we did get some stops. And it didn't help things that we turned the ball over on punts a few times. But still the defense needs to be more aware of the play as it develops, especially where the ball is, and they need make tackles when they have the opportunity. That big run for a TD in the second? Yes the runner was fast but the fact is our players should've been able to tackle him. They reacted too slowly like they didn't know where the ball was or understand the play could be flowing towards them. Awareness would make a huge difference there.
