I wouldn’t be surprised to see the entire freshman class transfer after this year.
Exactly. Why did we hire this toad? My God the man cannot coach at all. Good grief, any moron can see that Miles Jones should be playing.
Don’t know why we would play him now. We’ve already lost him. Time to focus on a few upperclassmen instead. They get it.
Exactly.
Last time I checked AM is the only scholarship QB but ok. There were at least 15 freshmen that traveled today and you can call two that played on offense. The upperclassmen have proven they don’t deserve to be on abybody’s football team let alone a Power 5 team. Simply embarrassing. Top to bottom.
We aren’t playing freshmen? Martinez, Washington, Allen, Danniels, Tannor, Pickering, Taylor. All on the two deep, getting get meaningful PT.
According to the OP Frost is killing the freshmen’s spirits. That doesn’t seem a little overly dramatic to you? Not even a tiny bit?
The post was specific to offense and could probably add ST to the conversation. Receivers (Hunt), running back (Jones), Tight Ends (2 or 3). Defense is doing a better job of rotating in freshmen for sure. Tyjon and Mike Williams have been absolutely silent.
Other than Martinez, Pickering and Washington, the other couple of freshman are getting VERY VERY limited time mostly on special teams. What I’m suggesting is we rip some guys out of their one spot and replace them. If they aren’t getting the job done then let the other young guys get more of a significant role. And the other poster that notes Alabama and Clemson playing freshman in significant roles is 100% correct. Add Georgia and Auburn to that list and last I checked all four of these teams are top 25 or better.
Sarcasm at its finest. You didn’t exactly make a stellar first post. Frost is losing the freshmen? Really? Talk about knee-jerk reactions...
Austin Allen and Damien Daniels are both RS freshmen and get quality PT. Who are these freshmen you think will change things. I could see Taylor getting more PT with Jackson’s struggles, but I guarantee that Coach Frost would be playing young players if they were good enough. I just don’t believe we have difference makers making plays all over the field in practice, that we refuse to play on Saturdays because the staff doesn’t want tot hurt the feelings of some upperclassmen they didn’t even recruit.
That’s what free will is all about. Making knee-jerk reactions. I’m sure you’ve made a few yourself coach. And I’m sure the freshmen and new recruits alike may be feeling a bit dejected after all they are only 17 and 18 year olds. Don’t think my post is too far fetched for anyone that knows teenaged boys that are true competitors.
Fine. Let’s assume you’re right on with this brilliant observation. Do we really want players who don’t want to work hard and be here? If these freshmen are so fragile that they are having their spirits killed, how will they help us down the road?
Don’t know what the answer is, but maybe he missed a fair amount of practice time because he couldn’t see out of that eye?
If you think I need to be a coach to see that what we put on the field today does not look like anything called talent. Definitely not Big10 level talent. I as many other posters believe that the freshmen couldn’t do any worse. We struggled in offense (130 offensive yards total) and in the secondary today and we have freshmen that might be more hungry and more aligned to the Scott Frost style of play since he recruited them. When guys aren’t doing their jobs sometimes you just need to shake it up and make them think their jobs are at risk.
you’ve totally missed the point. Goodnight.
Yeah I think any moron can see that the old crew isn’t getting it done. Get rid of them and replace them with all freshmen and high school students. At least they’ll fight. Michigan players even interviewed after the game saying they could tell our players didn’t even want to play.
Look at the title of this thread. You asked if Frost was killing the spirits of the freshmen. I didn’t say that, you did.
The point is, that it doesn’t seem as though Frost is going to give up on the current strategy and players. We haven’t seen many adjustments from one week to the next and on offense no new freshmen playing. So all my point is is that he will kill their spirits if he doesn’t make adjustments soon. I’m betting that next week will be more of the same. Tyjon fielding punts, Tyjon and Mike Williams at receiver, Lamar Jackson at DB.
And if he does that, he has a reason, even if I don’t know what it is.
