ABORT MISSION! I REPEAT, ABORT MISSION! ABORT! ABORT!
My thoughts the entire game against Ouachita this past Saturday. I love watching Finish Empty Fred get triggered by DivisionTwo just as much as the next guy, but the Tigers in Purple are pretty good. I don't know if they have much of a deep ball threat that I think they will need to go deep into the post season, but they are good. Enough about them, what about us? Our offense is awful, and our defense is right at or just below serviceable.
Offense:
When you get down two it, there is just no talent on this side of the ball. Outside of Trinity Benson, there is a major drop off. Finding the solution here will come down to the coaches recruiting and developing players for next year, but don't expect this side of the ball to improve too much. It's unfortunate, but hey.. there's a new head coach in town that I think can be really good, but he's having to deal with some pretty poor recruiting the last couple of years from the previous staff.
Defense:
This group is without a doubt the strength of our team. I know that might sound weird giving up 42 points, but its all relative, and OUA is a good team offensively. I thought we played well stopping the run early in the game and even forcing some punts, but when the other team has the ball for almost 3 quarters of the game, the defense is going to break. I think that's happened that night.
We host the SWOSU Bulldogs this week in Ada, OK. I plan to be there. This is a game that we can definitely win, even with SWOSU coming to town after a road win over Henderson. Good for us, SWOSU defense is down right terrible, and their offense isn't anything special to me, so there are some favorable match ups for us in this game. We have played better at home this season as well. GO TIGERS!
