I think the front 7 struggles in that game were way overstated by the announcers. We gave up 21 points. Our front 7 produced a tipped pass INT. We played the run well. The only big front 7 issue I saw was the way we let Luck scramble. Aside from that it was a mediocre effort without a ton of pressure, but wasn't bad by any means.
But Booger McFarland is terrible as an announcer and is constantly trying to spin the still happening action into long term narratives. Like the play he declared Clowney and embarrassment for being blocked into the endzone. Then the replay shows Clowney stalemating a double team until he gets pushed into the endzone after the TD.
The issue was our CBs not being anywhere near WRs on normal routes.
