Beavers Face Arizona at Reser

9-25-2009 - The Beavers face the Arizona Wildcats this Saturday and are in need of a vicotory after last weeks heartbreaking loss to Cincinnati at Reser. The Cincinnati game exposed many weak areas on the Beavers team the Coach Riley and his staff will have to work hard it to improve or teams will see these weaknesses and what Cincinnati did to expose them and do something similar. Those weaknesses include, Sean Canfield, Offensive Line, Defensive Secondary and Defensive Line. Lets take a moment to look at each of these areas.

Sean Canfield - Sean has really struggled the last couple weeks and has taken a lot of sacks and made poor decisions under pressure. His lack of mobility in the pocket is killing us because the O-Line is not giving him enough time to throw the ball. He needs to learn the throw the ball away and not throw the pick under pressure.

Offensive Line - Is embarrassing, they have no push and cannot seem to keep anyone out of the backfield. Its pretty amazing we have any running game at all at time point. The left side is really weak.

Defensive Secondary - Again a young group but they just seem to be running around and missing assignments all the time. I have seen DB's leave WR wide open while covering an empty area of the field.

Defensive Line - They have to put more pressure on opposing QB's if the secondary is going to survive. If the Beavers D-Line cannot get pressure on the QB then it's going to be a really long season.

There will be no pregame stat breakdown this week as I am heading out of town and do not have the time to get it done. I will also miss the game Saturday so the post game breakdown will be on what I can find out.

FINAL SCORE

BEAVERS 35
ARIZONA 24

GO BEAVERS!
