Everybody keeps talking  about the o-line coach and defensive back coach, but the last two weeks it's been our d-line and linebackers who can't stop the run.  Our o-line is not the problem and I thougth our cornerbacks and safeties played much better yesterday.  We are young in both spots and you can't always rush experience.  This team has the ability to continue to grow and learn this year and beat some teams on the end of this schedule.

I think what we are seeing is how bad a recruiter Maronne really was.  He didn't like recruiting and his smug attitude did not endear himself to players or  parents.  He won with the experience of Robinson's recruits and NEVER recruited a quarterback that  started.  His use of JUCO players also left us in a bind.  I have no doubt that Maronne could scheme offensively, but if you recall we were always complaining about his lack of game management skills.  Shafer's defense won us a lot of games.
