I think maybe you should enlighten me. We could have the number 1 recruiting class for the next decade, but what does it matter if we're getting blasted (3rd worst home loss eva) at home by USC? Just because the team has the tools doesn't mean it equates to success. I think it's naive to believe there is no talent on the defense. There are some very talented players on the defense right now, but look how they're playing.
You say there is no use in talking about it with "those" people because they won't change their minds. How is this any different than talking to "those" people who look through rose colored glasses? We just sustained the 3rd worst home loss eva. Are you seriously telling me that you don't have some questions about this coaching staff and team? The first two or three years, it's easy to sit back and use the great recruiting class excuse. However, we're in year 4. Where are those great recruiting classes and why are they getting crushed?
3rd worse home loss ever? Seriously? It was 18 points. I don't have a statbook handy but that doesn't seem correct.
Maybe 3rd most points given up at home? 3rd worst home loss in 40 years? It can't be 3rd worst home loss ever....can it?
We lost 42-10. I watched the TV replay and they commented on how "Carroll was clearing out the bench" and "using 3rd and 4th stringers against Nebraska". Umm, that means the game was over and in my book that is what the evaluation should be based on.
Fair enough, but if you don't go by the final score.......how can someone make the claim that it was the 3rd worst home loss ever? Do we look back at every game we lost in Memorial Stadium and see what the score was when the other team started using 3rd and 4th stringers against us?
