To draw that conclusion based on a game in season 3, when if one player makes a play, we win, just shows that you're viewing this emotionally and not rationally. The job of the coaches is to put the players in situations to make plays to win games. There were 10-12 plays in this game, that if the players make the play, we win. Even the best programs in the country lay an egg every once in a while. The fact remains that this team is 3-2 in the season following our first bowl game in 7 years. All of the guys that have made some big plays failed to make a big play, all in the same game.

If Graham holds onto the pick in the end zone, everyone would be calling it a great play call when Rutgers would be expecting a run. If Thomas doesn't rush straight at the punter (something that every player has been taught, but they sometimes forget) and doesn't rough him, that play is a non-issue. If Thomas makes either of the dropped pick-6s, especially the second one, no one is saying we can get no more of this coaching staff. If Bailey doesn't fumble in OT, I felt like we would have just run the ball down their throats for a TD. If Nassib doesn't way overthrow Chew on the deep ball, we're up 14-0 and I think we win easily. So many things had to go wrong for us to lose that game. Unfortunately, they did. How the team responds this Saturday will show more about the ceiling of this coaching staff than last Saturday did.
