I don't really see any. However, that happens a lot of times and in every sport. It has happened before and in BBall, too. You always hear about the lack of SR leadership. There are guys that will be leaders from next year forward. Some maybe RSF or sophs...SU has NEVER been a team that could sustain huge personnel losses and win. For schools like us, more things have to go right than wrong. I don't believe any coach would make a more positive difference. He's proven that when things line up, he can win pretty big. 10 wins is likely the ceiling and I expect that in 2 years. Next years class will determine the longevity and sustainability of high level play. I'm hopeful.

We were successful with dual purpose QBs...until other programs found out how effective they were. Now the QBs that we used to get are recruited by (and go) to power schools. The competition is stiff and a school like SU will have to have a handle or gimmick such as this tempo offense. Even now, schools are starting to run the same thing. Football is a copycat sport. I still believe we can win 7-8 games every year with the occasional 5 or 10 win seasons.
