Chris Cosh = very bad Defensive Coordinator.
I don’t know why it has not been mentioned yet, but Ralph gave Coach Cosh an earfull at one particular moment in the game that tv caught. I don’t think Ralph was very pleased with the defensive scheme used Thursday night. We will have a new D-Coord. next year or the year after.

These are the articles that need to be in the diamondback. Drive analysis is great. That being said, the thing that killed us was our weak defensive line. We have a great recruiting class and some young players on defense where I think our secondary is going to be one of the best in college football, and we always have a solid linebacking corp. The question is whether we can get more physical up front. Right now, we have 8 freshman defensive lineman with an average weight of 290 lbs, so it’s clear that Friedgen is trying to beef up and hopefully some of them step up. I love players like Navarre for our team, but with a larger line, the offensive line won’t be able to throw us around like they did yesterday and some of the blockers will be held up, allowing the linebackers to roam freely and make the plays. Our problem against the run was that their line was able to just knock us back, opening up big holes while sometimes getting blocks on our linebackers so that they couldn’t make plays. As far as offense is concerned, our line needs to be more physical there as well. I think we should run Meggett a lot more because of his ability to stick it in the middle
