Starters for defense
DL: McGuire, Jernigan, Robinson, Jeffcoat
LB: Hopper, Bailey
DB: Rakestraw, Manuel, Carlies, Charleston, KAD

Pass interference on Drey Norwood on a play where Charleston intercepted. Norwood was draped all over them.

But LA Tech is not afraid to dial it up if it has to.

Baker’s blitz leads to a tipped pass by McGuire for a pick by Carlies. That 4-2-5 pressure on 3rd and 10 is the perfect opportunity to send 5 blitzer and you see what happens when it does happen.

Staters for offense
OL: Foster, Wood, Tollison, Delgado, Powell
TE: Stephens
WR: Burden, Lovett, Dove
RB: Schrader
QB: Cook

Special teams almost letting a punt return break lose on the first punt of the season is not great. But Bobby Lawrence and Charleston got the stop on a 44-yard return.

First Series for defense: After not forcing a TO in fall camp the first possession is a TO)
First Series for offense: Three screen passes but not one pass to Burden. Hmmm, interesting. Really fast 3 and out.

This defensive line through two series is playing much better than last season. I think the blitzing of five and six people when they do it has worked out well.
Second series for defense: Holding a team to three points when they allowed over 40 TDs in 54 redzone attempts last season.

Second series for offense: Burden’s wildcat scamper for 17 yards was exciting but going for it on 3rd and 6 over the top when they prob could’ve got something underneath. Questionable.

Third series for defense: Great defense and we’ve seen a couple of times that the DEs are dropping in coverage.

Third series for offense: They started on the LA Tech 41. Cook had a nice lil first down scamper but then the next play he throws it to LB3 over top and I think LB3 should’ve caught it. It may have been slightly underthrown. But they're inside the five so, this is the first time they've really moved the ball well.

LA TECH 3, Mizzou 0
