He just needed to settle down some. I was surprised our defense gave up that many points. Just improve every week. Syracuse ain't UGa. I watched some of UGa's game. That D can still play as usual. One game at a time. ETSU will get rolled. Stay away from more injuries. Injuries can ruin a season faster than Dooley's coaching.
Actually he has an issue with his delivery that they have been working on since arrived
Net result is the balkl goes high
In the heat of the game he regressed but received remedial reenforcement in game
FWIW Merk has gone through a comprehensive retooling of his delivery as well
