Problem is people have no perspective. Yes, we can point out mistakes made and things we need to fix. The team has a lot of issues, but the bottom line is, this is a VERY YOUNG team. This is a team of mostly Frosh and Sophs with almost no upperclassmen leaders. The guys who should have been the leaders and anchors for this team all bailout out early last year.
The thing is, with the among of Frosh and Sophs we are playing, these mistakes are going to happen, and these problems are going to exist. So you HAVE to keep things in perspective. I REALLY like what I see from our young guys. There is a SOLID core of young ballers on this team, and with a couple more years of developing them, and some continuity in coaching, I think these guys are going to be something VERY special in another 2 years. The blown assignments, penalties and turnovers are going to improve. Guys are going to get bigger and stronger. But the fundementals on this team are much better. Blocking, route running, tackling, are all better than anything we have seen in years here. Conditioning is also MUCH improved. This team hung tough and beat GT in the trenches in the fourth quarter of this game. And GT had a pretty good OL too.
