In front of a record breaking crowd no less. A GP team would not have crapped the bed on D like that. They could not cover or tackle. The tackling was horrible. They can’t even get the angle on pursuit.I need to readjust my expectations for this season drastically after that one. Im not even sure the INTs and missed FG would have sealed a win for us because who knows how the game plays out with their ability to score Willy nilly. Every time we scored, they scored.
What a deflating loss. Game 1 season opener at home and a big L. Just no words are adequate enough to express my disgust.
I think we’ll still be pretty good but that was just awful. Need to change the approach on D me thinks.I need to readjust my expectations for this season drastically after that one.

This. Zero pressure, minimal coverage, poor tackling. We’d have been lit up by any offense with a pulse.To be honest, most good qbs decent teams would have done that to us today. Our defense is so bad. They were not good last year. They are awful now. And with a Leach minded coach, D becomes an after thought.
They wouldn’t? Were you not watching games in 2021?In front of a record breaking crowd no less. A GP team would not have crapped the bed on D like that. They could not cover or tackle. The tackling was horrible. They can’t even get the angle on pursuit.
That was the odd part, when we did get after them in the second quarter, it worked.No pass rush AT ALL when we don’t blitz anyone. You just can’t make your DBs chase guys all over the field.
Ya hard to understand all the missed tacklesTo be honest, most good qbs decent teams would have done that to us today. Our defense is so bad. They were not good last year. They are awful now. And with a Leach minded coach, D becomes an after thought.
I think we will be lucky to make a bowl game.I think we’ll still be pretty good but that was just awful. Need to change the approach on D me thinks.
2005-2014 TCU? Yes. We come in prepared and win.In front of a record breaking crowd no less. A GP team would not have crapped the bed on D like that. They could not cover or tackle. The tackling was horrible. They can’t even get the angle on pursuit.
Poor coaching. Relying on portal 2nd stringers won’t help either. Lack of culture.Ya hard to understand all the missed tackles
So? They sucked for sure500+ passing yards sure is…
What’s going to happen when we face UT or OU or Tech for that matter? And KSU? Even KU has a solid QB and playmakers. I could see us really struggling this year with what I saw today. And yes, our approach on defense needs to change. Radically.I think we’ll still be pretty good but that was just awful. Need to change the approach on D me thinks.
And where have I said it wasn’t as well? Reading comprehension….it works.So? They sucked for sure
But so did our QB …every time it mattered basically
So it was far from 100% on our D
Because we told everyone CM is the starter and would keep it for a few years. I wonder if our ex-QBs who transferred out have some second thoughts. We have a good OL and weapons at RB, WR and TE. CM couldn't get them the ball. And Briles' son should be second guessed for his red-zone playcalling. Sometimes it is OK to have the QB turn around and hand the ball to a RB.He is what he is. Really surprising we have no depth behind him, esp after we sent a QB to NY for the Heisman ceremony.
