Watching game today it is very obvious the players are tackling way to high. On the last TD drive by Syracuse there were 6-7 tackles that were made at the shoulders or chest. Clearly this is causing players to gain extra yards. Instead of being 3rd and 6 it is 3rd and 2. Makes a difference throughout the game.
Second observation is that our D lineman are very slow and do not defeat the block. They stay engaged way to long.
Third observation is that we give way to much cushion on short yardage situations and the safeties are sometimes to deep to help on quick throws.
On the fake punt that was on the players. Bad eye discipline. No need to be looking in the backfield like that. Everyone has a job. Do your job and not worry about everyone else.
