The defense has played about as I would have expected so far. Believe it or not, they played well enough to win both games..their biggest issue thus far has been poor tackling and overrunning plays.

The key to the first game was all the early mistakes that gave Boise a short field. Yesterday it was the offense failing to produce in the red zone...Tech didn't punt ONE TIME against JMU...and still lost.

Tech's problem has always been its offensive approach--it tries to fit a square peg into a round hole. They recruit mobile QBs but run a pro-style system.

Tyrod Taylor would be an effective QB---in a spread-type system. With Tech though, its send everyone downfield 25 yards then scramble if the first read isn't open.
