RE: UCF Aftermath: Let's Keep This Thing Rollin'

Remember when we never had guys in the right space in the secondary? Our backfield always got burned by the big pass play in coverage - never making a play on the ball. Guys couldn't tackle. We couldn't force turnovers. We were slow overall as a defense. Think about this, we held UCF to 3 field goals and 1 TD in 6 red zone tries. That INT was a gift since the UCF wideout slipped in his route but still - what an accomplishment after how UCF has been scoring in mega-droves all season. No one talks enough about Perry Young IMO. He is a fast backer in space and compliments very well with Bryan Wright.
I'm glad I no longer have to yell at Carter Jacobs. Seemed like a really nice young man who was very proud to play for the cats, but phew.... he was always out of position or getting beat deep.
Carter deservedly takes a lot of heat but honestly there were other guys that played defense to just occupy space. It didn't help matters that we had a lazy head coach that employed the following dee coordinators:
Art Kaufman 2013
Robert Prutny/Hank Hughes 2014
Robert Prunty/Steve Clinkscale 2015
Robert Prunty 2016
