I haven't rewatched any of the game but for some reason I am thinking Ricks being the DB on most their big passing plays.
Can someone verify?

Late in the game USC literally just threw to whoever Ricks was covering. No matter where we tried to hide him.
He struggled big time. I'm he needs to either get much better or see less time next year

We also never gave him any help. How about adjust a defensive call?

That's what I remember as well. They just picked on him and his effort looked piss poor.

According to the defensive secondary savant HC last night, it's 13 games into the season and we can't play zone defense.
And our team leader safety somehow has regressed into one of the worst defensive players that gets major minutes that I've ever seen.
Team effort in sucking.
Wonder if the million dollar coaches noticed?
As a highly paid defensive coordinator, I would probably try to do something to mitigate that issue. I don't know, maybe run a blitz to speed up the clock? But no…

The effort on the slant (game winning TD) was atrocious.
I think I can see a solution to the problem. The NCAA needs to go to a 26 game season.Bunk Moreland said:jt16 said:Bunk Moreland said:

Is that an actual quote?

Straight out of OB's write up.

I think Dez spends more time practicing his celebration dances than he does on playing CB.
and we've discussed that too
how did he get a 4-star ranking?
just a very average player at safety -- very average

Hopefully Chappell and Humphrey will improve the CB/NB play but we still need to step up our safety play. Maybe some of the younger guys will push for starting jobs next year.
I feel good about better play next year but there is a good reason to be concerned.

The 655 yards account for nearly 25% of all our passing yards allowed.
Texas A&M CB Dezz Ricks gave up 655 receiving yards this season (per PFF), which is the most in the SEC and seventh-most nationally. No Aggie player has allowed more receiving yards in a season since Charles Oliver (664) in 2018. Ricks surrendered 6/115/1 vs. USC, per PFF.

He's really good at hot dogging though

Yeah that's not happening.
I think he's just pissed at how bad our defense was.

Dezz needs to go play elsewhere.
You mean Charles Oliver 2.0?Quote:

Correct. We kept trying to defend 8 with one guy no matter that it never worked.
Insanity
Also our coverage became softer after the drive where they called the three penalties. It seems we changed things for the worse.

Does this mean Elko will demote himself to DC and we hire another HC??
Hard to believe we don't have anyone to replace Ricks. He is absolutely terrible. And for that matter so is Bateman. Both should not be here next year.
Ricks played against USC 3rd stringers and still got totally abused.
But at least he got to celebrate early in the game.

If Lee wasn't hurt Ricks wouldn't have played much.

He was playing outside contain, which is likely what the defensive scheme was. No one can cover a slant when setting up to protect the sidelines.2004FIGHTINTXAG said:

Is he the seat belt guy when the pass fly 20 yards over the receivers head?

We cut a 77MM Jimbo.
Haven't reviewed Elko's contract but it sure as hell better not be guaranteed in full. He gets another year and the noose is very tight if he comes out 8-5 again. 7-6 is choking for air. Losing record I don't even want to consider
That's actually so telling. I thought all year he reminded me of Olver.vander54 said:
