Throwing, running, catching, blocking, tackling, playing as a team are all still the basics no matter the plays and schemes.
Cant throw if you cant,or everyones covered. Cant run if you have no runners. Cant catch if you arent open. Cant block a zone if youve never had to. Cant tackle if you cant get there in time.
How can you play as a team when everything above is happening all too often?
Learning new schemes arent automatic, being a slow 258 pound MLB wont get you to the hole in a 3-4 etc etc etc.
Recruiting to positions of need because the older players simply had different body types takes time.
No POB, because he couldnt run,right? So, get AM, get LM.
Thats reality, its where we started, a true frosh at qb with a walkon qb as back up. One decent wr, late reaches on jucos, and a walkon was the best of them.
This isnt year _teen whatever at iowa,we dont have next man up in too many positions being filled by some very high potential
