[QUOTE="willwewin, post: 1419263, member: 746123"] Yes, I went from being to pro-lovie to anti-lovie over the course of one game. Yes, that is a little bit crazy. But there is good reason for it. I accept that our defense was always going to be terrible, and that is a talent issue. Not much could be done about it at this stage. However, even if we accept that we should hold onto MJ Rivers red shirt, there are still massive problems with what happened. We have two of the top twenty five running backs in the country. Either one would have an outside chance at the Heisman short lists if they played for real teams. They only ran the ball on 12 percent of our offensive plays. How do your best two players only run the ball on 12 percent of your places ... Maybe on one or two drives we can blame that on the QB. But when it goes the entire game it is squarely on the coaching staff. So, no, I judge lovie by us losing by 40. I judge lovie by the fact that we arent even putting the team in a place to be competitive. [/QUOTE]
