Message: [QUOTE="Cuseregular, post: 64502, member: 185"] if we can ever get an above average QB on the field most of these problems take care of themselves. I cannot believe that one isn't waiting in the wings real soon. As for this game everybody is looking it through the lens of technically only analysis. There's a karmatic strangeness to this game of football that is frankly undefinable but has a real tangible effect on outcome. Unless you played this sport post HS it's hard to understand and quantify (and most of you coaching types are too caught up in your detailed X's/O's analysis to give much thought to such things). There's just so many intangible variables effecting the psyche and energy of a team that result things like this, last week, and the WVU result inevitably happen. Emotion is so huge in this sport and if the talent level is somewhat on an even playing field then these factors way huge. We had the upper hand with this vs. WVU, L'ville has it now, and for obvious reasons Uconn had it today. I knew preseason this would be a strange L. The P thing is over and it's onward and upward. When they pull of a surprise win or two going forward some of the loud mouths will be back on here expressing confusion. It is what it is boys. And what it is is that we're not as bad as today and L'Ville and we're not as good as we showed against WVU. We're somewhere in between and what KingOtto says may be true, that being that the ceiling is around 7 wins for this coach. Not sure yet. What I am sure is that he needs a new qb to get to anywhere near that promised land. If he doesn't see that then he's on the road to failure as some note here they think he is. I am sure of one thing further though is given all the circumstances this guy deserves our faith and confidence to stay with him and I'm glad to know that he'll get at least 5 years to see if the 5-7 win ceiling is right or wrong because that's what it takes time wise. This isn't the easiest of places to attract the necessary talent. But it can happen (these challenges be overcome) as seen here in the past and elsewhere around the country. Granted nothing seen today is a cause for optimism but the judgement for me will be based on the rest of the year. I'm pretty spot on so far and think we take down USF this week.
