Fundamentally, there's a lot to work on. But I simply don't understand how this team can on numerous occasions get hot for a quarter or a half and then look completely lost the other quarter(s) or half. Against Wisconsin we jump out to a 17-0 lead. Against Michigan State we were down 27-3 and nearly won. Against Miami we were down 33-10 and nearly won. Simply put, we apparently have the talent to compete; otherwise these things wouldn't happen. Where I'm at a loss is why it's so inconsistent.
It seems to me the team is not properly motivated until they're losing. Losing is emotionally motivating, hence all the comebacks and near-comebacks.
ETA: If the problem is talent or coaching, why aren't those still the problems when we're scoring 24 unanswered points? The only reason that makes sense is motivation.
