This week we have seen first hand why we go into a slump every year….. injuries. Say what you will, but we still don’t have the depth we need to play in the PAC week in and week out. Every class we get better, but we’re not there yet.
I agree. More to the point is that we often lose the non-star guys that do a lot of little things. so the casual fan man not notice. Combine that with the Stigma this state has the the difficultly that every team in the state faces in trying to lure athletes here, and you get a slow build up of talent. I think Whit, Scalley, et al have done a good job despite what the critics will say.
I don’t think depth is the reason for our losses this year. Pretty sure (~80% confident) we were losing the AZ State game regardless of what happened to Huntley. We lost the battle in the trenches plain and simple and our starting Cornerbacks got torched all day long.
