I'm speaking primarily from the defense side of the ball were Gary's defensive scheme seems more complicated than most. It takes cohesiveness and experience. A lot of turnover does not help. Graduation, injuries, transfers etc...
The offense has had some of the same issues but there have been changes and they will improve as well.
Not smoking anything but Iam having a strong Jack and coke.

problem is, the frogs aren't young and inexperienced on the defensive side of the outside of a couple of back-up safeties. they might be undersized, might be bad technically, might tackle poorly, but they aren't inexperienced on the defensive side of the ball.

here are the starters for the frogs defense today:

o. mathis rs -jr ( played in 26 games with the frogs)
t. cooper rs-sr (played in 37 games with the frogs)
p. jenkins so. (played in 10 games with the frogs)
d. horton sr (played 12 games with the frogs and 27 total games in college)
d. winters jr (played 25 games with the frogs)
w. harris jr (played 22 games with the frogs)
t. tomlinson jr (played 26 games with the frogs)
cj ceaser rs-jr (played 26 games with the frogs)
tj carter rs-sr (played 4 games with the frogs)
l van zandandt rs-sr (played 32 games with the frogs)
n. bradford jr (played 26 games with the frogs)

the players bolden have been with the program less than 2 years and one of those two has a full 4-year career with memphis. that is 9 starters who have been through 3 summers to train, are in at least there 3rd season in the program learning the defense, working on technique-communication etc....

gary can keep saying this is a young team all he wants but those are the 11 he started the game with and where is the youth?

two true freshman played in the secondary (armstead and perksins-mcallister) and coleman who did get some time at de is a true soph. this just isn't a young defense.

Ever ask yourself why so many players not know what to do on defense? TCU will still pay for your school even though you are deemed so clueless that the coaches are scared to put you in the game. Sweet deal.

? Only way this would make sense is if we were a one year wonder. We’re not. Your starters on most teams are juniors and seniors…freshman and sophomore wait their time or are backups until their turn. The roster revolves so the backups over time (4 years) know the system as good as the seniors.

For whatever reason….he claims that isn’t our case…? Only a Gary can explain it

If these guys play as hard as they did today, the rest of the year, we'll win more games than we lose and an invite to either Houston or Cheez-its Bowls. Our(the) year was always 2022 and some how, many felt we were a 9-3 team this year and no telling what those were expecting for next year, before the season.

How about that Sean Robinsonseque pass that he missed Evans by miles. He missed a possible TD, at least a FD, on that throw. The only thing the would make that pass worse is if it had been intercepted. He should’ve been benched for that throw alone. Max is a good QB but still makes too many bad throw.

For fun a reporter should ask Evans that question.

A reporter should ask Evans that question...."GP said you were tired, true?" BUT, GP has been allowed to be bigger than the program so Mark Cohen has strict instructions from GP not only who asks the questions, but which questions are allowed to be asked. It's a joke. Look at any other football program's "press conferences" or "post game interviews"....it's fairly normal. Our's is pre scripted propaganda.
