[QUOTE="AeroIllini, post: 1236414, member: 588629"] Haven't posted in a while but thought I'd come back to the board and post. What gets me about this loss is that we have what? An NFL defensive guy who can't stop the run. So maybe the recruits aren't there and they aren't good enough for the scheme. I wrote off the UNC loss because we hung in there for 3 quarters to an extent. WMU is bad but they are good this year and I felt like it was a trap game from the start. Nebraska we had a shot at the end before it came crumbling down. But what I want to know is, what happened to the defense that played 3 good quarters against Nebraska? Where are the "draft picks" at? Smoot, for all the hype, had maybe two plays where he was in the mix. Our offensive line either doesn't have the fortitude to beat the guy across from them or dont have the fundamentals. Where is the pride in what you do? Lovie did us no favors with the coaching today with not centering the ball, but he's not going to be accountable for that. If the refs are flagging excessive celebrations, then stop celebrating. We have the academic standards that limit who we recruit but I never see our players playing with intelligence nor discipline. As to carrol Phillips I don't want to see him on the field the rest of the year, pulling that stupid nonsense. Maybe Lovie is used to dealing with men in the NFL but 70 of our players are definetly not ready to be treated as such [/QUOTE]
