Here is the video referencing the time:

Here is what went wrong on each big play on defense (and a couple of potential, constant issues):


9:40: Ulmer blocks himself out of the play basically (he engages Acy's responsibility and not staying at home)

10:40 Ulmer commits facemask penalty

11:15 Confusion amongst the secondary...you see them signaling to each other and looking confused

11:25 Acy engages the correct guy (but it is a mismatch, as it is a TE vs a shorter,smaller DB). He does not however attempt to disrupt the pass (and it is a little bit late to the ball). I don't think this is his fault, I think he needed safety or LB help that wasn't there. This fail goes to them, they were all tricked.


22:10 Both Acy and Ulmer back-peddle too far, however Ulmer lucky to have enough speed to come back to the ball.

22:50 Both Beisel and Hall take the wrong angle, they attempt to go left (from their perspective) and the running back in running right, leaving the field wide open for a score.

31:00 Beisel first tries to read if it is a pass or run, it is a pass but then he can't decide whether to engage or drop and basically stands there then decides to run when it is way too late. Anthony Sherrils doesn't even try to attempt to attack. Hilton has no idea what is going on.


31:30 Demarkus Acy completely overruns his WR, missed body tackles by 3 players


32:10 Even though though the play was for a loss, Beisel runs the wrong way, he tries to go right and then left, when the play is going right the entire time.


34:35 Beisel runs the wrong way again (going to his right when the ball is going to his left). Cam Hilton completely whiffs on the tackle. Kaleb Prewett also goes the wrong way, but he didn’t have much choice as Beisel had already left one open hole for sure. This long TD was 70% Beisel’s fault and 30% Hilton’s fault.

40:50 3 players literally go after one receiver. Wide open ~60 yard TD. Someone between Cam Hilton and Terez Hall screwed up here. Both of them went after Acy’s guy (along with Acy).

54:00 Acy gets flat out beat and a horrendous attempt at a tackle by Anthony Hines allows the guy to run free. Marcell Frazier also does nothing to pressure the QB here. Terrible effort by him.

1:36:05 Acy gets beat again (in single man-to-man)

1:3810 Somebody in the secondary (but not actually Acy this time) blows coverage. Kaleb Prewett is the closest guy, so I am thinking it is his fault. Also, as a side note, watch Beisel just stand in the middle of the defense, not attacking or engaging. Kind of odd. Huge play, failure by Prewett.


1:40:10 Their last TD. Beisel goes the wrong direction again, engaging with someone needlessly away from the ball. Terez Hall is too late to notice the play. Sherrills is also responsible because he goes after the fake and tackles the wrong guy. Jordan Harold basically blocks TBJ from running after the QB (though not likely he would get close). This one is on Sherrills and a little bit on Beisel.

Overall:

- Acy should never be man to man. Never. There should always be safety or linebacker help with him. Double coverage the entire time.
- Beisel is completely clueless and, along with Cam Hilton, was responsible for most of the running yards allowed on the day. He left gaps everywhere.

Fix these two things and Mo State doesn't score 10.
