didnt read the whole thread, our run d wasnt THE problem, but it was definitely a problem. when u give up that many yards on basically 3 different plays, when u knew the opposition was going to do it, play after play after play, and u cant adjust to it until late in the 3rd quarter, thats a problem.
did the D lose us this game, nah, the O was atrocious all around and cost us the game, but our defense got hammered by the most basic of running games. problem.
tbh ive never seen a team do that to another team in modern football. Epenesa was so bad against that one running play, he should be cut.
