tackling has been awful all year except for last week... thats one thing i don't understand. you learn how to tackle back in junior high.. another touchdown, theres the nail in the coffin folks

I played football in junior high and high school. I have never played D-I football. But I would imagine that tackling in D-I is different than it is in junior high. Even so, Mac always relied on high schools teaching players fundamentals. But it has been evident that we have a hard time tackling good athletes. Too many arm tackles, too many times we don't wrap up or don't hold on or don't follow through. It's just messy.

i have a question, when you try to draw the other team offsides, and it doesn't work, why do we need to take a time out, why dont they snap it on the count after the hard count?

Are we winning this stat because our defense shuts them down or because they score on us so quickly?

I think it is actually because our drives are so long...even the unproductive ones.
