When Scott Frost took over, I think that the program was in a worse condition then most people thought. Player wise, culture wise, development wise, administration wise organizational wise. We were just bad in pretty much every way a program could be bad.
I figured it would take multiple years to get back to being respectable and there wasn't going to be a break out season 2-3 years into the tenure.
While there has been some glimmer of hope, recruiting looks better, conditioning looks better. There are setbacks to go with them, players leaving, an offensive line that continues to get taken advantage of, large holes in the roster, lack of play makers.
The most frustrating thing to me is that there has really been much progress year over year. We still look similar to the team that Frost took over. The only real progress has been the defense looking a little more solid. The secondary looked soft and we didn't have a huge pass rush, but we had linebackers filling gaps and defensive lineman looking stronger
We need to make some progress forward, especially on offense. I hope the Frosts schemes aren't so easy to defend that they are easy to game plan around. It sure seems like we have to fight very hard for every yard, while teams like Minnesota, Illinois and others can make their offense be consistent. Or maybe that was just against us.
