First game, and he's already declining post-game interviews. Not a good sign. What's worse is that people are already making excuses for him.
Next week will be telling. If adjustments haven't been made an Oregon drops 50+ on us, then I'll start to worry.
Our strength and conditioning program used to be top-notch. Last night these guys looked gassed before halftime, whiffing on blocks on offense, unable to get off blocks on defense. Looked like a bunch of 300-pound marshmallows out there. What happened?
I expected to see improvement by Year 3. It's not happening -- same penalties, mistakes, sloppy play. Had the same problems during the Callahan and Pelini years, and Riley still hasn't managed to correct them.
