I don't know if our "best players" are being held back by others, but there are a good number of players that don't see playing time for whatever reason, and then finally get on the field and excel.  Damon Benning has mentioned it after the Purdue game, that he doesn't think the coaching staff are good evaluators of talent (when it comes to putting kids on the field in games).

IDK, it just seems like it takes circumstances beyond coaching decisions for anything to make much sense. The stuff they decide to do on purpose often leaves us scratching our heads. It all feels like it gets flung against the wall to see what sticks and not much has been sticking.

or maybe they're worn down by injuries.  Casualty of not having depth to rotate.  I wonder how many snaps our current linemen have versus the lineman on our more successful-traditional teams?  Seems like those guys were able to be spelled a lot due to blowout wins.  Everyone just seems tired.
