That would be great. Not sure he can, but it certainly is doable. Would be a good start for next year.

Depth issues/talent-our OLine depth killed us in this game; and likely will in next 3games. How exactly is it Riley's fault, who has been here 2 years, that this team does not have as many 4-5 star players as OSU? That our 2nd string QB is a walk on who wouldn't play at any other D1 colleges?
You need to realize that it isn't just the coaches...there is a new scheme and our players are not at the level of OSU, especially with all the injuries we have at this time of year. It happens.
OSU destroyed Okie early this year when both teams were at FULL strength. Okie isn't as bad as that either...every week is different in football. This team doesn't have all the players it needs yet. I'll be interested to see how we fare when Riley has a team full of his recruits, especially the offense at QB. Next year will be closer to that vision with either Tanner Lee or POB at QB.

This. If you are in year five or six and still getting pummeled consistently against the good teams, you don't seem to have what it takes at this level.
That said, last night was many steps back for the defense.
Exactly.
Do not yet have the necessary players to game plan against the big boys.
We DO have the necessary players to game plan against mid-tier Big X.
Can't (obviously) just go to the waiver wires.
The NFL does ..when they need a player they go to Alabama...and the guy signs even though he has to take a pay cut

We need to improve our recruiting
That starts with the attitude towards recruiting. Thankfully that mindset has flipped 180 degrees, and if the stars are aligned so will the results.
I agree. The problem is the results have not improved. So far Bo's worst class (sans his first season) beats every Riley class. He had the stars align this year and so far, we are clinging to a top 25 finish. That will not cut it. THings might change and we might end up with a bunch of great players this class. But right now, we are not getting it done.
You are correct but don't seem to understand just how horrible the mess MR inherited was...if we don't see even greater improvement (and there HAS been improvement) next year and the year after MR will go down...I don't think that will happen as he's doing great despite last night's setback.

There are legitimate excuses, but frankly, the beatdown was worse than the excuses excuse, so it goes on Riley's permanent record. But it's just one data point. There are contrary ones already too. The full record will be judged after 4-5 years and then ongoing.
