The defense looked pretty bad. Do you think our defense is truly that bad or could it be that the plan to contain DTR ended up causing us to play too conservative? Thus eliminating the onslaught we saw against Stanford. -Otis
The defense did indeed look pretty bad. I don’t think anyone would dispute that. It has been a consistent issue against upper level quarterbacks that if the Husky pass rush can’t bring them down within a few seconds then they’re going to be able to find an open receiver somewhere. Tanner McKee and Payton Thorne both had a lot of success when given a clean pocket.
