This game was a crime against the concept of offense. Two offenses were dominated by two strong defensive performances. There were moments Tech gave up explosive plays, but this was the most complete game Keith Patterson’s squad has mustered.
Defensive line: D
The line still struggled mightily to generate any organic pass rush and Duggan found huge holes for his explosive runs which is why they grade out so low. The complete inability to generate any pass rush means Patterson is forced to blitz which exposes weaknesses on the backend.
Eli Howard has to be better once he returns, as he is the veteran leader of that group.
