I've been and still am in Doug's corner and I really hope that somehow SU can right the ship and get this season turned around, but they will have to play way, way better than they did against Minny to make that happen. One obvious problem IMO is the total lack of fire and emotion the SU team shows compared to who they are playing. College football is a game of emotion, especially at the beginning of games. Jerry Kill was red faced, stalking the sideline looking like he was ready to go in and play while Doug looked like a guy watching a tennis match. SU doesn't have any coaches on the sideline during games that are fiery, in your face types. Players feed off the emotion of their coaches, if the coaches don't have it, the players don't either and yet, they can't understand why every game they get off to slow starts.
We used to have a fiery guy on the sidelines but Marrone fired him (Conley).
I was watching the game and made the statement, "Marrone looks like his is scouting a high school game, not coaching a college football game".
