He did.  He liked Bullough's scheme and though we did a pretty good job there.  It's not Bullough's fault Whigham couldn't keep up with ND.  He said offensively it was really tough to tell because their front did a really good job disrupting our run game.  Clearly ND did not respect our WR's as they played a ton of man press with a single high a ton.  Hunt's deep throws were really, really, good.  Except for the overthrow to Estime, our guys clearly had difficulty separating from their defenders.  The pick he threw was kind of a bad throw, but he did point out that the safety held Estime coming out of his break and it wasn't called.

His specific comment to me was "it's really tough to tell when your guys can't beat the other guys.  Sometimes it's as simple as there Joes are just better than your Joes."  It's a pretty simple way to say that coaching can only do so much.  We'd all like to think that if a the right staff came along we'd be top 25 overnight.  We just don't have those guys yet.

In the last 10 years of our program, we have had 1 QB, 1 RB, and 2 WR's drafted.  None higher than the 4th round.  LSU had 1 QB, 2 RB's, and 3WR's DRAFTED LAST YEAR! That needs to change if we want to make the next leap.
