Hoping the staff is treating this week as fall camp 2.0. So much to re-work on both sides.
Busch has a difficult job in front of him but I think he can pull something together. One thing to keep in mind about Bill is he’s very likable and trustworthy. You can see that by how he recruits. I’ll always remember the rickey thenarse story.
Bill is also actually a pretty dam good coach. At his short time @ LSU he put 3 guys in the NFL and one was a 2 time All American under him. You can say he had talent but he also brought the talent out. Remeber he wasn’t @ LSU when it really all fell apart . Tiger fans will tell you their safety play suffered after he left.
granted he hasn’t been a D-Cord before but he’s been a ST Cord. So he does have some experience leading units. And he’s coached safeties, so he understands the field very well. If his D can give us a chance to beat Indiana then he can keep building. next 5 aren’t OU.
D doesn’t have to shut out anyone, just keep it do-able and hope our offense can generate points. That seems like a tuff task because of the o-line but you can scheme around that. Not everyone has the 90s cowboy lines. Run some more misdirection so the penetration hurts their D. Call more quick throws. But not the WR screen crap. Quick hitches. Whip said he has a lot of stuff, let’s see it. For this team. Maybe he wants to call plays for the team he wishes he had. Let’s scheme on what we’ve got. Let’s be honest, Casey’s doesn’t have time and he doesn’t have the arm for deep balls.
And I know people have already gave up on Mickey after one game but that’s just not fair. Definitely not fair to the players or the program. I still believe we have talent but we are consumed at trying to fix our weaknesses vs trying to make it work. I believe we have depth at D-line and our secondary is getting older by the day. If the coaches win these next two weeks, I think we can have a good rest of the season. Remember Bo got smoked by Mizzou his first year and we rebounded and beat Clemson in a bowl. I’d take that kind of ending. Probably won’t happen that way but I’d take a bowl.
