Don't blame Ricky Watters against Stanford, Bettis fumbled three times. Tackling in the secondary has been horrific starting with the transfer from Cal having a guy completely wrapped up on third down and the guy breaking the tackle and getting the first down which led to a touchdown. the pass rush is horrific and I expected both Jones and Tillery to be greater forces. The defensive scheme with the stunting is stupid when Daelin Hayes is lined up to beat the right tackle simply with quickness and the scheme takes him counterclockwise around the pile and gives the QB ample time to get rid of the ball.
Kelly did a superb job coaching last year with all the injuries and getting us close to the playoffs but now he is stuck with numberous young players, one key one, Shaun Crawford, going out with an injury again. A coaching change for Kelly would be ludicrous at this point but Van Gorder had to go.
Our offense is not fine as we are very inconsistent and cannot generate a drive at decisive moments of the game. Thirty eight points a game is nothing in today's modern football and we did have an overtime that included 10 points.
