  1. Because of one game? Did you think Malcolm Williams was the best WR on the roster after the Tech game in 2008? We're talking about a kid with eight catches in 13 games.

  3. They're all freshmen. Touting them as the solution to our WR problems this early is asking for trouble. As was said upthread they're raw athletes and raw athleticism is not really what Worthy lacks. It'll have to be the portal (again).
  4. Why are we okay with accepting this in Sark's third year? Herman left us a bunch of trash + a few key players like Bijan, Ford, DMo, etc. We struggled in year 1, supposedly processed out most of the trash, and leaned on those key players in year 2, giving Sark enough time to rebuild the roster with strong recruiting classes + the portal. Now we're going to lose the remaining key Herman players over the course of this + next offseason, and this is the team we're left with? Our WR group is subpar. Our O-line was exposed without Bijan + Rojo. Ford looked lost on defense without DMo and we still have big needs at DE, D-line, and DB. The realities of where this team is are not matching up with the timeline. At this point there are still too many holes in our roster and our coaching to handwave it all away with 'patience', and there are too many examples of coaches turning around teams much faster. Joey McGuire was a high school coach just a few years ago and he matched our record at Texas Tech in year 1, for Christ's sake.
  5. It's not so much of an outlier in this day and age. Kalen DeBoer, the first-year head coach who just beat us last night, took Washington from 4-8 to 11-2. Like Sark, he brought in his own QB from Indiana instead of inheriting one at Washington. McGuire went 8-5 in his first season at Tech, also beating us in the process. We all thought our patience would pay off in 2019 after we beat Georgia and won the Sugar Bowl. Ehlinger was just a sophomore, we had staff continuity and brought back a lot of key players on the offense. But that 'patience' was just us pulling the wool over our eyes and ignoring the staff's very apparent flaws in recruiting and in-game coaching. We didn't realize that the defense would nosedive once Strong's inherited players left. Similarly, Bijan and Roschon are gone now and can no longer paper over the glaring weaknesses of our O-line. There are just too many roster holes and portal needs coming out of year 2, for this staff to get 12 wins next year.
  6. (Ian Boyd) Five quick thoughts: Huskies control the Alamo Bowl
  7. Keilan is not an 'elite' swiss army knife, and you might want to rewatch his plays this year if you're overrating him that highly. He's a pass-catcher out of the backfield and in the slot, good for not much more than 2-3 catches a game. Brooks, Blue and Baxter are the guys who will have to replace Bijan and Rojo next year, and last night wasn't much of an audition for any of them.
  8. Second time now that a fourth-down attempt for Maryland has ended in disaster in NC State territory. That's six points left on the board in a tied 3-3 game...
  9. Another fourth-down try ends in disaster. Don't know if a bunch of coaches all decided to start looking at analytics this season but there's been a massive jump in 4th-down tries this year.
  10. "Lost" them? He inherited them from Herman and they're going to the draft, and he's had plenty of time to recruit his own RBs to replace them. Bijan and Roschon aren't going to magically reappear in our backfield next season. This is our offense moving forward. We spent the last two years making excuses for Sark's underperformance because of all the bad players Herman left behind. And now we've moved on to making excuses for Sark because the few good players Herman left behind are leaving.
