Steve:
I must be talking another language. Did you read my post? I was talking about the first game especially - and carrying over to games 2 and 3. They looked like I was coaching them. I've already said by the Kentucky game they looked much improved. That is how I had expected them to look in the first game. I agree that these coaches (or rather the coaches we've had in the past under Urban Meyer) have achieved great results. That is why the first couple of games were so unbelievable. My problem was the point where we started from this year. If we played in the first game as well as we did in the Kentucky game - where would we be 4 games later? We only get 12 games in the regular season. Every game counts - a lot. When they start the season horribly - as they did - I don't think they progress as much - over the year - as if they are blowing people out and playing a lot of the backups. Then Alag8r starts trying to twist my comments into saying these coaches suck, always have sucked, will always suck in the future. That is completely out of context. Screw it.

I counted one bad snap - and I have seen other teams with more than that recently. I saw some running plays between the tackles with huge holes for the backs to run through - did the defenders all just fall down? I saw WRs running open and making some great downfield blocks. Did I see all of this happen on every play? Of course not. Guess what? There's not a team in the country - and I'm talking about ones that play on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays - that did everything thing right every play. If we were still playing the way we played against Miami of Ohio, or even the first half against USF I could understand, and would share, your concern about the coaching staff. But, from my point of view, I see a team that is getting better every game. We may not win every game this year. We never have, and that covers a lot of years and a lot of different coaching staffs. But we are one of the premier programs in college football, and for most of my life that statement would have been laughable. A few years ago, USC seemed untouchable - where are they now? If there's a program that has recruited as well as us the last few years, and the one that makes more money than football than us, it's Texas. They just lost at home to an unranked UCLA team that was recently shut out themselves at their home. So forgive me for not buying into the doomsday scenario. Feel free to be concerned all you want. I know that we can get better. I guess the difference is that I think we are. Steve --- Keith Baldwin wrote: Centers that can't snap the ball - and the other centers are much worse? The strength of our team - the OL - can't block? WRs that don't know how to block and what routes to run? I don't want this for years to come.
