Some of you are acting like we have taken massive steps backward as a program. Talking like Whitt is reverting to his (alleged) old ways of not being willing to keep his foot on the gas… blah blah blah.
The reality is, the outcome of that game means faaaaaar less to this program than the experience that our young guys are getting.
Ty Jordan had a massive fumble in the redzone. Had he not fumbled, we likely score the winning points… but look at his stat line. 97 yards rushing on 10 attempts. This kid is a true freshman… he averaged nearly 10… TEN yards per carry against one of the best defenses in the pac12! They KNEW he was going to be a focal point of our offense last night, and he still made them look bad.
We have several freshmen on defense either starting or getting substantial playing time, and they aren’t just there because we don’t have anyone else, they are among the best players on our defense… AS FRESHMEN.
Even the offensive line, as bad as they have been, is getting very valuable experience, and seemingly improving quickly.
It’s gonna be fine guys, relax.
