Dee,
I see the same things you do, and it's not from a talent aspect. We have talent, but this team lacks a leader. For every good or great team, you have several individuals that will step up and be leaders for a team. This year, Shaud is the only one and he can't do it by himself. The lack of leadership from the senior class bothers me. Also, I think that the injury bug has added to our troubles. So many freshmen and redshirts are out there trying, but lack game experience. This will absolutely kill you in big games. All of our opponents will see this on film and go after it.
Lastly, with all of the changes that have gone on before this season, I think that this group is tired of football. It appears as though they are mentally beaten before they play, almost an attitude of going thru the motions. A sad state of affairs, but sanctions, bad recruiting, lack of depth and personnel changes have all but done in the 2003 season. It's hard to see that team we all love fall to such depths, but there will be better days ahead. How far will rest in the hands of Mike Shula. Also, unless there is a change in the leadership of our athletic department, be poised for more disappointment.
Sorry to paint such a picture, but it is obvious to me where we are, and I, for one, do not like it!
