It's happening because there hasn't been any leadership on this team since the days of Wistrom and Peter. I'm one of the biggest Bo fans you'll find, but he isn't instilling any mental toughness in his players. Was this year a result of what was (or wasn't) recruited when Bo was first hired? Maybe, but what's really starting to eat at me is that there is legit talent in the underclassmen, and it might get wasted because there isn't any leadership to speak of.
Obviously, coaching is part of that, but there has to be actual "captains" that lead this team. People say wonderful things about Mr. Burkhead but I would give anything to have someone wear an N on the helmet that actually cared about it. I just see a lot of guys playing for their resumes out there.
100% agree. Where is the leadership. I'm not sure we need guys to lead by example with this team. Need some vocal leadership to hold other accountable.
I thought that David was a vocal leader at the Whisky game and then also led by example at the OSU game. Just because they aren't winning championships like Peter and Winstrom doesnt mean we have had no leaders.
