Our defense doesn't deserve this team. Our defense is borderline national championship good(when everyone is playing)

SFA 03. I agree with your assessment. Almost entirely on point. I don't understand why our offense is so bad other than I believe "Clint's" only objective was to get his son in the NFL I might be off base but it certainly seemed like our offense in 2016 and 2017 was geared around him.

I'll agree that we are a decidedly better defensive team than offensive, but saying they are or even have the potential to be a national championship caliber (as seen so far) is hyperbole. Quin Jones, Alize Ward, Ryan Woods and others I can't pull the names of are beasts, but this defense blows assignments in the passing game giving up huge yardage every game and our run defense is still lacking consistency. Individually we do have good tacklers but as a unit, this defense is a solid B-B+.

Honestly time of possession is not a problem with this team, so it's not like the defense is always on the field, but we are prone to give up big plays. So every fourth defensive stand, we're giving up points. Two targeting ejections in two weeks isn't great either. I'm not down on the defense, but there's not any rings coming soon.

Jake definitely came to play yesterday - played his heart out and brought emotion to the sideline. My hats off to him. He took too many hits and was the victim of too many bad snaps, I have nothing but respect for his will to win and trying to carry the team on his shoulders.

Thanks for all the positive remarks on Jake's behalf. For those of you guessing why Jake started over Foster, it was a head Coach decision. Foster is not hurt, beat up or injured in any way. I've been saying every since this summer who the two QBs where going to be and now I think the decision has been made. So here's alittle insite.. the receivers run the same 4 routes the entire game and when they dont run the right route and when your throwing to a spot and the receivers not there then it looks like an overthrow. We look great in the 1st quarter then when the DB's figures out what routes the receivers are continuing to run its hard to get separation. The OL isn't giving Jake anytime to go through his progressions. How many receivers can you look at in 2 seconds when you have 5 guys coming at you. I'm tired of people saying Jake is a game manager.. Barbay calls the plays not Jake. His play calling is very predictable he still has ALOT to learn. The offense will practice 2 dozen plays and run the same 8 during the game. I have seen my son pick himself up off the turf time and time again and I'm not sure there's a tougher player on this team.. So for all you armchair QBs that may or may not have played varsity Football in high school until you have gone through what this kid has gone through you need not speak about Jake's ability. He is loved by his teammates and repespected by his coaches and AD. At the end of the day that's what is most important for Jake. If anyone has anything they would like to say, you can always DM me

Thank you for the clarification. I thought he was the QB. which is why I made the comment at how he was a big QB for a freshman in the stands. I guess the UCA folks by me were pulling my chain or making me think we were playing against a recently moved to QB player.
