Jeff accepted responsibility for the numerous mistakes, some of which go direct to this staff. However, a bad long snap, a dropped pass into the hands of a DB and careless ball control by a QB leading to a fumble belong to individual players, but failing to call timeout when your DB is injured, and there is obvious confusion with the substitution that lead to incorrect coverage on a critical 3rd down …….. saw it the week before on the last series before halftime against GT, when our secondary was confused with coverage on the long pass reception.
Our defense played extremely well for most all of the game; regrettably confusion with coverage on just a very few critical plays have come at the worst possible time.
