for sure. I thought the defense looked good this year. I think many of us keep some hope that Cumbie will turn it around. Then you see Reagor leave and not even mention Cumbie. So was he frustrated due to that part of it all?
Still, if it would have been my son, he would have thanked Cumbie in his comments. Aint like Sonny has not been trying. Just sayin'
i see challenges for the offense and the defense projecting forward for 2020, but they are of different origins.
defensively the frogs had some rough moments in the first part of the season primarily as byproduct of personnel issues at defensive end and linebacker. these came to a head in the iowa state loss and popped back up against ok state.
since that game the defense played much better and as crazy as it might sound the ou game was actually a very good effort in how the defense responded after a bad start, how the defense gave up yards but not points over the last 3 quarters, and how they put the offense in a position to win the game.
the biggest challenges going into 2020 for me are at defense end, the second linebacker spot, and corner. frogs must get better play in those areas based upon who is projected to return and that does include going and getting new talent
offensively isn't so simple, there are questions about scheme, play design in the run and pass game, lack of talent development at some key positions, and questions about talent on the roster.
