Do we actually know all of these are great news??? What if we already have better players or could be doing better?
I totally get the point, and am obviously using some sarcasm here, but I’m just saying. I have a lot less trust in our football staffs talent evaluation than I do on the...
I think Bret tells him before third down when they are going to go for it so he knows he has 2 plays to work with. Which probably leads to the stupid 3rd down runs right up the middle.
Bret should’ve kicked it
I’ve loved how Bielema started to build the program, but the decision to switch to this defense was stupid. It’s halting any momentum the program had.
Frankly, I don’t know if we have the talent to be an average defense, but this definitely isn’t helping.

Counterpoint: He didn’t get kicked out of that game. In fact he’s been ejected from 1 total game he’s coached. Zero suspensions.
