As good as McClain is, without competent coaching and defensive play calling, McClain's play will be negated by much better teams than we have faced so far.

Exactly. We don’t have the guys to do it. As soon as we started rushing 4 we got to their QB.

I've mentioned it in another thread, but we looked lost just trying to get lined up. Then when Zakoby came in, we didn't see that much, if any, in the 2nd half. I'm sure he and Pappoe are the "defensive quarterbacks" and make sure everyone is in the right spot. Why that wasn't addressed knowing. Either was gonna play in the first half is pretty concerning from the defensive staff.
