Roster was very top heavy and since football is about as much a team game as there is, having a handful of really talented guys wasn’t enough to overcome the huge holes we had.

negative, we have a ton of talent who are coming back including a stud TE, two safeties who were the best in the country and some nice returning linemen and a very good WR. This team was good enough to win 10 games. QB and coaching let us down, probably more coaching then QB play.

I don’t think the coaching was great but we were playing defense with 9 or 10 guys all year and the QB was playing high school football in Iowa in November 2018. You aren’t going to win 10 games very often with those handicaps.

You could also approach it from the standpoint of it's amazing how well our talented but green QB kept us in so many games, including scoring what should have been the tying touchdown in the game against baylor. He didn't tank an offense with 5 NFL guys, he kept us afloat in a season fraught with poor play calling, WR dropping passes, poor play calling, and an O-line that played matador-style protection. And did I mention the poor play calling? Thank God the boy can run, because his legs alone kept us close or made the difference in game after game. He had one of the highest (if not THE highest) number of passes with no interceptions until he just started having to throw the ball away to save his life.

So how about we kinda back off the "blame the QB" shtick and look at what he DID do for us instead of blaming everything on an 18-year old kid one year out of high school.

Agree to disagree. Our QB’s were terrible. A decent QB and we were at least 10-2.
