Our program reminds me a lot of this year's election. We spend double the money much like Hilary. We act like were so hip and cool with our fancy fireworks, pre-game festivities much like her with Jay-Z, Beyonce, etc. We act like we're entitled to the championship without even playing the games. Cheers to a mediocre program!I was thinking this while watching the stands and the facilities at Charleston Southern during the game. It has the look and feel of a high school stadium, but they're the ones with the national ranking and a playoff berth for the second straight year. We are all sizzle, no steak.

That prediction was WRONG!At times it sounds like I am alone in this, but I do not believe Dennis Wagner is the reason for our OL problems With the addition of 4 players who redshirted this year, if Henderman and Holder are healthy, we will have much better depth next year A FBS transfer upgrading us at one position would obviously be a nice addition
I think I also said, Stephon Masha could have a Mike Brown season and presence with this team. So, in the words of Jim Carey from Dumb and Dumber, "I was way off!"
Needless to say, I am disappointed with this season. Yet, I am not crushed or mad but I am hopeful for what this team can do next season. I saw improvements in our defense from last year to this year and big improvements in special teams from this year to last year. Logically, our offense should show good signs of improvement next season too. Lastly, we need to address the O-Line depth with transfers, recruiting and maybe a new O-Line coach.

We probably led the nation in number of "3rd and longs". Our offense is too conservative. We make it easy for opposing DCs to game plan. We have the skill players to 'spread the field" and keep defenses on their heels. Stop lining up and running ball off right tackle.I totally agree with ballcoach
