Yea what we saw yesterday will not work on the road. They've got to get that fixed. Same with the defense, too much confusion if the offense changes formations. Kiffin needs to hone up the relay and Smart needs to dumb it down and let the guys play. We have guys on defense more worried about lining up wrong than they are about letting a guy just run free.

Too many times on defense we try to run the perfect play with the perfect personnel and the offense snaps the ball while we're trying to figure out what that is.

We need to get a hat on the tight end also. That guy was wide open down the seam all day

I've been feeling the same way for about a year now. Our system is ideal when going up against a traditional, huddle-up offense but we hardly ever see that anymore. I know we've been trying to speed up and simplify our defensive play calling but we still seem to be confused and having difficulty getting lined up too frequently on D.
