per Joe:
Limegrover’s explanation Tuesday was fairly nuanced. It sounds like Kent State, with its multiple defensive fronts, had the patchwork offensive line and inexperienced tight end corps a bit flummoxed. Limegrover was careful not to criticize players, but I think this was a case where there were opportunities missed.
“We weren't going to spread it out against them because they did so many different things,” Limegrover said. “They were so multiple that it's hard to be able to put your finger on -- you want to make sure that you have people blocked. It was almost from snap to snap when you were preparing for them, the more you spread out, the more you started to get headaches trying to figure out where it was all fitting.”
He continued:
“We didn't play well up front. I think that's pretty well documented. Even with the way it looked, there were some things we didn't take advantage of. But also, what concerned us was a team that -- we're able to do our best on the perimeter when we have a good idea of what the defense is going to do -- when from snap to snap to snap it's a different picture for those kids as they're trying to go out and block. That's when somebody gets missed. That's when the big plays happen on the other side of scrimmage.”
