Our cornerbacks are terrible. It's too bad we lost Fussell. Hope we make some adjustments at halftime but I can see us losing this game

Agree, but Pate also had a handful of jersey on the previous play with no call.

This is the issue with no Fussell. No breaks for these guys, and we don’t play a ton of cover 2 where there is over the op help on the sideline

Honestly not even that weird. Our defense is gettable which isn’t a surprise and on offense we had a dropped wide open TD, followed up by a block field goal, intermixed with our new LT getting absolutely facerolled Quite a few times. That’s about it.
