The defense took a noticeable step backwards last night. Misdirection plays went for big gains. Tackling looked weaker. There was no pressure on Fresno's QB. And too many times our defensive front simply got blown off the line.
It was uninspired and disappointing football by the defense which otherwise had been playing great all season. And it was bad from the very first possession Fresno had in the opening quarter.
It was the Old Era rearing its ugly head again because Despite the poor play from Palandech and the offense, the defense should have controlled this game, pressured the QB, created a turnover or two, or at least made more plays on 3rd down. From a fan's perspective I want to see heart, attitude and fanatical effort (like we've been seeing) and that didn't happen this time. It's a shame.
