"The amendment voted upon at the league's annual meetings in Destin, Florida will now allow "the use of institutionally-controlled, computerized sound systems (including music), institutionally-controlled artificial noisemakers, and traditional institutional noisemakers at any time, except from the time the offensive center is over the football until the play is whistled dead"

Their use by this definition is illegal
They brought them in even when they were banned. The answer is to ban them again and assess them a 15 yard penalty each time one is heard. Then it will stop...

We need a lot of changes up front...defensive line needs to step up and blow guys back to make it easier on these linebackers.

It looks to me like they are being told to play a soft, contain defense. Your defense is only attacking on 3rd and long. You have not had a defensive game plan like this all season, and it isn't working.

Yes, defensive line getting pushed off the ball at times. Not always, just sometimes. Also, if we're going to run, do we have any other runs than "up the middle". Maybe bring back more zone read. Jalen has done is so infrequently this year no one looks for it anymore.

The last 2 games our D line has gotten abused. I haven't really seen our line get pushed back 3yds every play in a long time. When is the last time people actually attacked the middle of our line. MSU's backs are getting 2-3yds untouched then fighting for 3-4 more.

We've had problems with the DL not really holding the line of scrimmage and often getting pushed up field establishing a new LOS...we just haven't been a dogfight for real outside of the last two weeks. This problem has been here all along, this DL unit is a big drop off from the Allen led group. Understandable in abstract but this is as bad as we've looked in a long time on the DL in run defense.
