[QUOTE="KevinC, post: 1419162, member: 5621"] Please remember that most of these young men are freshmen and sophomores. Not only have they not come close to their peak strength but, their understanding of the game is extremely limited. To even bring up year 1 of Lovie is foolish IMO. Those were another coach's kids and definitely should not be held against him. The only thing that I dislike with Lovie is his desire to pound the ball on the ground. I realize that many on this board want even more of that but, if throwing the ball is such a negative, why are there so many here that are frightened to death of teams that throw it. If a team doesn't throw it on a regular basis, it will be very difficult to do so when the need arises. Everything speeds up during games as opposed to practice and, guys are a lot more relaxed when there is a need to throw it when they have become use to it. It also keeps defenses from putting up 8 man fronts on a regular basis. For those that need examples, see Ohio State and Alabama. [/QUOTE]
