But so many of the big plays we gave up last year were the result of 2 or 3 guys blowing their assignments.

I don't pretend to be an expert on big-time college football defenses (far from it), but it was just amazing last year how often we would see opposing receivers just running wide-arse open all over the field. Players will miss assignments, I realize that, but when it's 2 or 3 on the same play, and that happens multiple multiple times, then you've got a major problem on your hands. The fact that it continued to happen all year long shows how few live options Coach Snyder had. Just by learning assignments, and the coach having options when the players don't, should in itself make a huge difference. At least that's what I tell myself.
Gig'em.

To your point, I'd like to believe that we've gotten a significant upgrade in Coach Joseph. His comments about attention to detail, quizzes, and making the DBs learn the entire defense are very encouraging to me. Hopefully it shows on the field.

I've got another theory: Could it be that Marcel Yates was spending the bulk of his time trying to campaign for the Boise State DC job instead of doing his job? Could it also be that he was spending a lot of his time poisoning the mind of Dylan Sumner-Gardner as well?

Once the playoff was announced, it was no secret that Chris Petersen saw the writing on the wall...and it's not like anyone was shocked when Kiffin was fired...certainly not Sarkisian.
