Things We Can Learn - Concerns About the 4th Quarter Performance...

Defensive Performance Review – Indiana Game
Indiana demonstrated a balanced offensive attack with an efficient power run game, recording a 23–14 advantage in first downs. Their ability to sustain drives and control the line of scrimmage provided a clear model of execution we can learn from.
Our defensive performance showed strong moments early, but we experienced a noticeable decline in the fourth quarter in each of the last two games. This drop-off indicates a need to improve our finish, and late-game consistency. The issue may not be solely athlete-related — potential contributing factors include player rotation, team depth, and defensive alignment. These areas can create situations where fatigue, and a numbers disadvantage at the line of scrimmage impact overall defensive effectiveness.
Next Steps:
Review player rotation patterns and evaluate late-game substitutions.
Assess alignment strategies to reduce stress on front-line defenders.
Continue developing depth to sustain performance through all four quarters.
