Defense is still obviously a problem, like I said in another thread I don't think you can replace the DC again, can't really have 3 DCs in 3 years, have to try to get some continuity imo. Looks like the Freshman QB is the real deal, hopefully they can keep him around. If so the other QBs will ...

I am concerned about the direction of this program; a change is needed




What? Unless you know something most others don't know, I think we have the right guy. Defense is still an issue, dumb penalties (mental mistakes) hurt. Then obviously a step down in QB this year and we lost some dam ...
