It wasn't good pass defense, it was poor throws downfield by Pikeville's freshman QB. There were open receivers and the QB had burned Belfry several times on short passes. Our pass defense stinks, plain and simple.

We still had tackling problem early on too. This is not a good tackling team right now.

Plenty to work on for the Pirate D. Unfortunately, we have two weak opponents in a row and if we don't improve Ashland will hurt us when we travel there.

I mentioned this in a thread last week, we've been given up way to many yards and T.D's all season. We had several passes in the Henry Clay and P'burg game were receivers were wide open ten yards down the field behind our dbacks. Need to get out of the zone and play up tighter on the recevers out wide,when teams are in a passing situation. I also mentioned we should pass more,even if our backup is in the game. Let the boys throw the ball some.
