Sept 26, 2020: There were a couple of trends that we really started to see clearly for the first time in this game.
DC Avalos’ new defense was now completely shutting down Power-5 opponents, especially through the use of complex and confusing defensive fronts that got pressure without blitzing. The run defense was excellent, though as would be something of an issue all season long, they tended to give up some yards after contact despite being in the right place to stop the back.
Offensively, this was the first game where the starting center was out and the right tackle moved over to snap the ball.
