I was pleased with AK's play calling and variability of schemes. Hallelujah! I definitely think we reigned in the offense in the 2nd half, so I'm not 100% certain that he made many adjustments after seeing WVU's halftime adjustments. MY never seemd to have an answer to opponents halftime adjustments.
I was also pleased with TA's schemes. We kept Greene in check all game long. I did see Carter drop into coverage a few times. Our schemes under JF have always been to stop the run and go after the QB in passing downs. That works great except when the other QB is really good, which is the top 10 teams and those QBs throw more on early downs. EVERYONE struggles on D if the QB is elite. Those are the games where the O has to pick up the slack, but again, top 10 teams are also going to be very good on D.
I give all 3 new coordinators an A.
