    What I can’t wrap my head around is all the FBS transfers on D (schools include Oregon, Colorado, Kansas, S. Carolina, ECU, Indiana. Maybe Penn State too? Perhaps others I’ve overlooked) yet collectively they aren’t good at football. Is it poor talent evaluation in terms of even recruiting them, or is it poor coaching, both in terms of deciding which ones play, and the schemes employed when they do play? I suspect a combination of the two. Part II of what I can’t wrap my head around is why our CB’s give such generous cushions. There were several occasions Saturday when it was 2nd or 3rd and long & our CB’s were giving 10 yard cushions. This made for a simple game of pitch and catch for the WVA QB. There just seems to be no imagination, and no willingness to try different strategies. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing (that’s not working) over & over again, and expecting a different result. Thus, our D coordinator must be insane. Part III of what I can’t wrap my head around is why we are using a 5’6, 160 lb guy as our feature back. Are there no other RB’s on the roster? 3 games in & how many explosive plays (plays of over 20 yards) do we have? A couple, maybe? All of this is attributable to the head coach, who, up to now, seems not to be held accountable for this mess. Hopefully, that will mercifully change at the end of the season though. Funny thing is, if we somehow pull out a W Saturday, against a UNH team that doesn’t appear to be a juggernaut, will be 3-1. OTOH, if we L, we could be in the early stages of a long losing streak.

    Part II has been a pox on this defense for at least as long as the Championship Game year. It's unnerving to watch def. coordinator after def. coordinator come in here and not run an attacking style of defense, especially when it comes to long yardage situations. Here ya go, catch it after 15 yards and then we'll tackle you to move the sticks. Bring a blitz or 3 and let the corners press cover.

    Noway that we should be running the same defense over the years with zero positive results. That’s on the head coach who hopefully has less than a handful of games less. the only offense that wouldn’t be able to move and score on our defense would be our own 😂

    Well, West Virginia certainly was but most teams should not be more athletic than us. I've been bitching for weeks that we have better athletes at corner and safety that we're not using. But does it really matter? If the coverage is going to be soft and we're going to rush 3 on 3rd and 12, to me, it's more scheme and playcalling than it is just personnel issues. Also, while the DC's have changed over the years, the head coach hasn't. I'm guessing he has something to do with the way the team defends. Maybe he completely gives his DC's all the authority in the world to run their own D, but I highly doubt it.

    I remember the effort we gave back when we were down in Baton Rouge. Oh how we’ve fallen.

    Almost half a million a year. Not bad
