This season proves that an adequate backup QB is 1000% essential.

We had a good plan going into the season, but when Rikki didnt work out everything went bust. Should not have been too big a surprise since he had no track record coming in. We have a couple of young guys that may or may not develop behind Angeli, assuming he returns healthy.  Any proven really good portal QB will want a legit shot at starting, so unless Steve has a health setback we may not attract any at that level, but we certainly should be able to get a guy who has proven it at a lower D1 school and wants a shot at a higher level.

This season has proven college football requires a plus QB for winning seasons. End of story.

As for the D, so hard to evaluate. Sometimes just awful, other times they played well but appeared to get worn down because our terrible O kept putting them back on the field until they broke.

As for Fran, for me the jury is out, but I am in his corner for now. Two seasons, one he struck gold at QB and won, the other he found the right guy at QB and we were off and running until that guy got hurt, then total collapse without an adequate backup.

Pretty clearly Fran has upgraded the recruiting. He deserves another season in which we get adequate to good QB play to see how well he can coach without the once in a generation QB (McCord).
