Realistically, squeezing a Bowl bid out of this team, particularly given the key injuries that continue to mount, would be a "very successful" season, IMO. Apart from Nassib, there are no true play makers on either side of the ball. I had hoped that Chew and Bailey would be, but that's not the case. On D...P Thomas is perhaps the closest to being a play maker. S. Thomas could be, if he were healthy. I like what Dion is doing, just a little too undersized to be a big factor.

Given what we have talentwise, we are lucky to be 3-2. The fact that we could have been 4-1, 5-1 heading into WVU, says a lot about the coaching and the quality of effort and heart from the kids.

I'm just a dope who knows a little about football and coaching. It's very difficult to run a pro offense without some NFL quality talent at the skill positions and a good O line. Not blaming Hackett, he is running DM's system. But, can't help but wonder what the O would look like if we had someone like Mike Leach as coordinator. Not saying he would be interested. Just think that's is the way to help negate the lack of talent.
