Our defense is playing inspired football. Our offense is not. Period.
While our defense still makes mistakes, it has had the football inspiration to go out tere and play hard nosed, knock em around defensive football.
Our offense, on the other hand, seems to walk with a swagger that is nice to see in a prolific offense. I am not dissapointed to see the swagger. I am disappointed to see the swagger when we haven't earned it. Dropped passes, bad routes, and dumb penalties are all signs of uninspired football. We need a spark to get things rolling. If that happens this week, watch out. Much of that, I feel, falls on the senior leadership and the coaches. Sanders has to start making big plays if his mouth is going to run 90 miles a minute. We are on the brink of becoming a solid team. We just need to finish the drill.
The best coach I have ever known made this statement at half time of our state championship game, "Gentlemen, finish your masterpiece. You have worked all season to get to this point and have done so in an amazing way. Finish Your Masterpiece! Put your name on the records....Let's get to it." While I am not saying that this season has been your normal masterpiece, a bowl game for SMU would be. Our boys have the chance to finish things like they should be, and I hope they take the opportunity to announce SMU's reclaimed status as a football program.
I apologize for my ramblings, but i felt I needed to vent something after having witnessed losses that should have been turned by leadership.
Let's play inspired football men! Go Ponies
