Didn't really learn much. Have said there is a bell cow RB on the team and tonight SF got into one of his moods and actually decided to ride it much like the end of last year. Again it is amazing what this O can look like when a N/S run attack is the focus vs E/W. Then the passing off of a strong rush attack. SF doesn't even have to completely overhaul his style, just needs to not "out Frost himself" and venture away from what is working.
GOOD WIN FOR THE TEAM, and I am HAPPY FOR THEM, but once again a win(that was closer than it should have been) won't mask the flaws and incompetence this team and staff showcased the last nine weeks.
The defense played well, against a crap offense. This is something that should be said every game against a crap offense. But then Illinois comes to mind, a shorthanded Minny offense, and too many other times the last three years.
Same goes with the offense. See the last sentence of the first paragraph. Staff changes still need to be made.
There are still far too many questions to go crazy after a victory in the Bottom of the Toilet Bowl.
You can call me a Debbie Downer, hater, bad fan, whatever, but the track record has shown that optimism and positive momentum does not exist with the current state of the program. I have been pretty critical of SF since year 1, and until he proves he is ready to soul search himself and then his staff, AND THEN the roster I will continue. Again Year 3 and it looks like the end of year 1
