I have posted in Brian Wilson's thread about our "talent deficiency" which is a bunch of B*llsh&tt.
But it did get me to look at the games I have watch and some of our concerns as a team and ask:
1. Tight end play: Our tight ends have not played well; catching or blocking this year. We have in Austin Allen and Kurt Rafdal two freshman who were the best tightens recruits in Nebraska and Indiana. So why are they not being coached up to play? Especially in Riley's offense which tight end is a featured position? I can't believe that this staff can't see that for DONU and for them the "future is now". Good tight end play would open up the run game a lot!
2. Linebacker play: I'm sorry but Ive had enough of Seeing Newby and Young late to the football. I just watched Tale of the tape again and it was pitiful seeing them try to stop UW's run game. Could not Guy Thomas, Andrew Ward or Willie Hampton provide more athleticism to our D so that at least if they are in the wrong spot the can do a better job of recovering? I need them to find a Lavonte David, cause there is not one out there now.
3. O-line: I wanted Decker at center and Jaimes at tackle; so Im going out on a limb and say based on what i have read that Boe Wilson( okay, he's Red shirt freshman) should be at right guard.
4. QB: Too late to blow Gebbia's red shirt now, but I would have at the Illinois game. Highly talented, better fit to the skills of current team/O-line.
My real point is if talent is the issue then it should be coached up and on the field, regardless of class, not on the bench or redshirted.
