I think LA Tech's defense is fine. Very good actually. It's just weird that Tech's 2021 schedule began with two teams who threw the football for a combined 106 pass attempts in only 2 games. Mike Leach's MSU passed the ball 47 times and SELA passed it 59 times. That's insane! Plus, SMU Coach Sonny Dykes is known for throwing the ball a lot too. However, I was relieved to see SMU only threw the football 33 times against UNT last week.
All this passing.....Hell of a way to start the 2021 season.
By contrast, FAU's first two opponents this season (Florida & Georgia Southern) only threw the ball a combined 48 times. GSU threw it 21 times and Florida threw it 27 times. Likewise, UAB's first two opponents --Jacksonville St (34) and Georgia (22)-- passed for a combined 56 passes. Those are "cakewalk" numbers compared to what our guys have just faced.
I haven't checked the stats of all CUSA teams to date, but I highly doubt anybody in CUSA has faced the high number of pass attempts and quality Quarterbacking that LA Tech has faced in the last two games. And I seriously doubt Tech will face back to back "passing" weeks like the past two again.
