That's what we're left with though. Lack a few playmakers on defense, secondary is too young, OL has played well but was over matched against a vicious front 7, linebackers played okay, but I feel like Allison is the only playmaker of the group, DL has faded since Oregon game. Like having the shifty WRs, but they're too young and not physical enough against the opponent today. Youngsters mostly seemed intimidated by physical game."
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
I'm glad he provides compelling evidence of this improvement.
As I watched some of the SEC games this afternoon, it struck me that what we really need most is just fully mature players at all positions, and that takes time. The top teams are made up of kids that all look like Deone did last year, and when we have that we will be a force. We're now trying to win with speed and finesse, and as Stanford proved we need grown up men playing a man's game. We're not there yet.
But I did love seeing the Stanford D with their hands on hips at the beginning of the 4th last night. Conditioning is not our prob. Lack of pure physical mass, is. That, and a head shaking D scheme at times.
I think Breske would look like a star with the right kids (mature) to run his scheme. In the meantime, he just looks overmatched, because his kids mostly are.
I long for the day when we can reload instead of rebuild. Right now the pain comes from being ever-so-close. That, and ref screw-jobs...
Doesn't anyone watch football or basketball for an entertaining exciting game anymore. I am as disappointed with our record as anyone, but every game feels like one I am going to get my moneys worth in terms of excitement.
Same thing in hoops. Last year was a total meltdown disaster that was "unwatchable" in most games. This year I only expect our record to improve by a couple of games, but I expect us to be entertaining and exciting on a much more regular basis.
