The list is longer but those three are big enough. There is plenty of blame to go around. We let a much worse team stick around and beat us. This is Jacksonville State all over again. However, I disagree with those who seem to imply that there is no redemption. We still have a very young team and a very inexperienced head coach.
Sure you can put it all on Bo. He played his worst game as a Rebel tonight. They scored once off of those INT's. Fumble at the end sucked, but we shouldn't have even been in that position.
Freeze calls gimmicks all night with RN at running back, the wr throwback, 2 minutes left in the game and we're running it up the middle. Possibly his worst called game.

Agreed on all counts. But will the coach get better? He is the one who gets paid millions. And I think that is a legitimate question because I think his coaching was worse at the end of the season than the beginning. The exact inverse of last year. That is discouraging and gives great pause. Not bashing, just wondering out loud. I'm not sure.

We have to hope he will learn. He has had a very accelerated learning curve to get to where he is but recent performances indicated he may have plateaued. We will have to hope it is just a temporary thing and he will take the time to look back and see what his weaknesses are and improve.
Freeze and Co. Had a chance tonight to put Mullet and State away. Now they have new life. Watch the PR on this for the next year. Freeze is going to wish he had won this game. His job just got a bit harder.

Think so Chuck, not 100% positive, but I believe he will.....I want to give him a couple more years to get the depth he needs, with the players he wants, that fits his scheme......now after that the clock starts.....
This year I saw improvement with no consistency, next year I expect a little more consistency, which will be the next step......achieve that and now you are on the path to building a program....
Look guys it's an age old saying......but Rome wasn't built in a day....there will be setbacks, how you respond will define your worth....
