The first five games show the difference between four star recruits and two star - three star recruits

Four and Five star recruits are physically ready to contribute

2-3 star recruits are development players

We have a team full of kids who need development, and do not have the depth or physicality to compete with teams peppered with four and five star kids.

This is a process. If you cannot see the difference between this year and last year, I'm sorry.

I have seen enough to believe things will get better. Look at the size of the kids on Bowling Green last year ... They dwarfed us in terms of size and speed.

Look at the youth playing this year. And the reps they are getting. And look at the points we have left on the field this year.  And look who we have played. Remember the SoS?

We have a three game stretch where we SHOULD be 2-1, bringing us to 4-4.

Heck maybe we steal the VT game and somehow get to 5-3.  The point is, for all the sky is falling people, we are not as bad as some think ... We are not as good as some think ... We are who we are at this point in time.

We went 3-9 and 4-8 the last two years after FHCDM got us back to respectability. FHCSS was a good man. And things didn't work out for him as a HC.  I see HCDB getting us 5-6 wins this year, and more next year.

Last year's staff would be 2--3 at this point too, maybe 1-4.  The difference woukd be the scores would be 38-20 instead of 50-33.

Believe in the team.
Believe in the process.
Believe.

Go Orange!
