I don't want to make excuses, since I agree with you that we're losing. Our record is poor. One reason why we're performing below our recruiting (which is, itself, not great) is injuries. We were shredded last year. Then this year, we lost our starting QB. Our defense is very very young and inexperienced. That's the biggest factor in our losses, at least IMO. Unfortunately, the D's coming around too little too late. I'll be interested to see how we play against NCSt and BC. If those games are abysmal, then it's possible that Clemson was an aberration. We'll have to see.

I still think that this comes down to perception. When I watch the games, the biggest factor I notice is that our players don't match up with the opposition talent-wise.

All you guys make good points about our record. But I don't see anyone pointing to huge coaching deficiencies or colossal in-game decisions. There are a few issues with time management, punt versus go for it type plays. But the raw truth is that we're losing to teams with better players.
