Call me crazy, but I am now migrating to a place where I am starting to doubt this coaching staff. Beginning with Marshall, this team has basically been destroyed in every game. Was the cupboard of talent left that bare by Fluberville? I understand and trust the rebuild process, but I’d at least like to see us competing with teams that we should be competitive with. All these great recruits coming in will be exciting, but we need some coaching behind them to go anywhere!

I'm just concerned that we have seen no improvement. And not only are we 2-5, but we've lost by double digits every time. And we're incredibly fortunate not to be 1-6.

I've talked about how much I hate the fact that we don't run the ball enough (37 pass attempts vs 12 carries for Doaks and Warren again this week). It just seems like at some point we'd stop putting so much on our QBs. Fickell himself even said the o-line is the most improved position group since the beginning of the year. So we should lean on that. If he's right about that, and we know our d-line is good too, why aren't we playing a style that goes to our biggest strengths?

Jake if I was coaching against the Cats I load the box and make our QB beat me. This team is no where near ready to dominate teams up front or pounding the ball. You may run clock but your not scoring.

That beats putting our defense out there for 35+ minutes a game and giving up a million points. We aren't even the least bit competitive vs AAC teams. Throwing it 40 times per game at 53% completions has played a major role in that. It's not working. We have 3rd and long all game and it's not a coincidence that we converted just 25% of our 3rd downs last night.

We do have a more positive attitude about losing by 30 every week vs non-P5 teams. I'll admit that.

These last 5 games will be telling. They shouldn't be hard games. We should go 2-3 at worst. Let's see if we can build any momentum going into next year.
