We are not fundamentally sound. That shouldn't happen in year 4. It is getting old. This isn't a talent issue. The question is why are we so goddamn sloppy? If it is because we are young then next year should be a leap for us. If it is because we are not a well coached team, as Marrone keeps saying every presser, then he needs to be replaced. 
 
Penalties
 
2009 59th
2010 101st

To compare
 
UConn
 
2009 2nd
2010 16th
2011 37th
2012 12th going into USF game
 
Mistakes can make a difference in Ws and Ls. We keep making them despite the players changing.
 
Also an interesting stat: on average this year we fall behind by 12.2 points every game. So despite being only 4-5, never being blown out, and leading the whole games vs UConn and Pitt, on average we spot our opponents a 12 point lead. The funny thing is we score 0.3 more points than our opponents this year. The UConn blow out kinda skews things in our final ppg difference but even if you take out the UConn game the average amount we trail by becomes 13.75 and the final score is a 3.375 deficit. So on average we make up 10 points per game after trailing by nearly two TDs.
