We can argue lack of talent all we want because there are obviously deficiencys in our roster. However for a coaching staff with the experience that ours is supposed to have there is simply no excuse for the problems we have. We can't throw the ball worth a damn but insist on chucking the ball around the field on a chilly wet field. We refuse to run the ball despite averaging 5-6 yards because it apparently isn't pretty enough. We cant stop even mediocre passing attacks. We cant manage the clock. We are among the most penalized teams in D1. Our special teams less punting are deplorable. What is there left to be optimistic about.
