And I hate what I'm seeing here too, but lets get off the ledge here people. Calling for the whole staff to go is nuts. With the young OLine we are running all over these guys.
DLine needs to get to the QB who hasn't been touched yet.
But all these guys will have been with the program for a year and ostensibly bigger and smarter. BIG difference in a year. They should not even be dressing yet.
On D, Blubaugh, Stewart, Rastas ALL should be RS's and NOT playing college football. That's not an excuse, that's truth. Now they are getting tons of minutes and they are not ready for it.
But I think these kids are playing hard, they simply are too small and dumb to know how to play. Blubaugh in a year will make that stop. Rastas is playing hard, but will best be known for allowing 200 pound QB's run over him. I think they are playing hard but they are NOT GOOD.
And momentum is important. We start ahead and like the other poster noted, the really bogus call on Tank doesn't occur, and maybe they get a bit desperate, play calling changes etc.
We can't make excuses, but we can't ignore injuries. Should Bubba have had greater depth after 3 years is the question, but to lose so many good LB's is really hard to put on him.
