      I’m personally not surprised at the FB team’s struggles this year, as first, the offense was built on the assumption of a pre-injury CR skill set, which didn’t get to be fully implemented for obvious reasons, and second that the transition to a new conference with different travel, unfamiliar match-ups, etc., is always a challenge. That said, I’m excited to see what the new combo of Bajakian-IW can do, and hope for better days!

      If the games we were losing were a bunch of unfamiliar matchups, I would agree. We are 1-1 in our games against “new” opponents. We have lost 2 games to former pac teams. This has nothing to do with unfamiliar matchups.

      No doubt one of the biggest issues, in hindsight, is that this season’s hopes were riding on a historically injury prone player to avoid an injury. Unfortunately, that was a statistical improbability.

      Our defesne is damn good.

      Once again, this is 100% Whitt’s inability to allow his OC to have more than one QB prepared to play. We aren’t losing to good teams. We are losing to mediocre to BAD teams.

      How you can’t have more than one QB ready to play, when you have a former 5 star kid, a 4 star kid from Corner Canyon (other Corner Canyon QB’s were the #2 pick in the NFL draft, Ohio State’s starting QB, Ole Miss’s starting QB, etc) and Rose, who has been in the program for years.

      Not having a backup that can put up 24 vs Arizona and TCU with that talent is pathetic.
