I think you nailed it.
I have attended all but the Utah and Washington games in person this year and as the handle implies, we sit up pretty high. I have come to enjoy this view; it is one you can't duplicate at home on the tube - a complete picture of pre-snap alignments and shifts.
There is zero respect for our passing game right now, nor should there be from what I have seen. Mostly man, put the lockdown on 19 and a spy on 5. Best weapon was tight end. When a receiver does get open schematically, it is at best a 50/50 proposition complicated with hands of stone or poor QB footwork. Since we have seen what 5 is capable of, I would have to say he is pressing right now.
Pretty concerned about the game tomorrow. I expect a "Remember the Alamo" mindset from the Stinky Ones and we need to be able to match that intensity.
I'll be there, as always. Go Devils!
