I wasn't even surprised by tonight's showing because I've seen too much bad play across the board the past year and a half against average to good/great teams. I see multiple offensive lineman getting beat one on one and often without anything spectacular being done to get by them. I see our defensive lineman seeming to give up too easily on some plays and linebackers/d-backs who consistently seem to mis-read gaps, overrun plays, and try to tackle with their shoulders only when they do get a chance to hit somebody. I didn't expect greatness yet with all those things, but I did expect a little more progress in all those areas by now. That is concerning. I am also surprised by the lack of offensive identity so far. I understand injuries and some lack of playmakers at certain positions, but I do not see any real rhyme or rhythm to the offense. The team also still seems to go into certain games expecting to lose and when they get down a little bit they do seem to put their focus away for the rest of the game. They almost look like they think that's fine as long as they come back ready to beat the next week's easier team. They need to stop doing that. It's a good thing there's a bye week. Time to figure out some answers regarding all these issues. I still trust Frost to get it headed the right direction so I am still pretty optimistic about the future of the program.
