I still wonder how much of this decline is due to the quarterback situation. The defense has been building off the same gameplan so far...leaders have stepped up and such. The offense, on the other hand has had to switch from one quarterback to the next each week. Inconsistency is tough for a new system. The special teams...well that one just has me perplexed.
I think a lot of it. They're still trying to get the offense fully installed and everyone comfortable with it. We looked good against Colorado with a healthy Martinez. Bunch didn't get many reps in fall camp so he was working with a limited playbook against Troy that (probably) got smaller as he struggled with it. Not that it was going to help against Michigan but Martinez was still getting back up to speed (no pun intended).
I just think it's been about as disjointed of a start to a new system as you can have.
