[QUOTE="eyepatch, post: 1337954, member: 593752"] The real truth is, Lovie - and McGee, by extension (and why did McGee leave Louisville when he had a Heisman candidate to coach? How often does that happen?), has thrown the program under the bus playing freshmen at every position he can. Cubit would have taken the same team last year and beat Lovie. Lovie LOST the Nebraska game at Nebraska, by, among other things, playing a freshman on the O line who couldn't find his helmet with a map (and the kid is no longer in school, btw), and punting when he should have gone for it on fourth down with time running out. But those are just two examples. Lovie lost the Purdue game because he didn't even bother to ice Purdue's kicker... Lovie says "It is Xs and Os" just like the pro game, but he cant bring guys in every Tuesday to try them out (like in the pro game). He's got to work with what he has. And at that he ran out the walk-on players last year - then held a try out to find walk ons because he didn't have enough bodies for practice. [/QUOTE]
