Now that we can't make a bowl game...

Do we see even less effort from the team / coaches with nothing to play for?

Coaches will be sending their resumes out so they will try to make a good showing for their job interviews. The players have to play hard because the future coaches will be looking at film to see who will make the team next year.

I did not see any difference in Saturday's game or vs. Cincinnati, so I think we will see the same team and an even emptier Ford.

Why not let those players that have a chance to go further showcase their talent. What do they have too loose. he starters that are not doing it, give others chance too see what can happen. LB Nwosu hasn't had the chance to do what he can do at all due to the lack of playing time, give him a chance to prove what he can do, What is there to loose? There is no way that a player like him not getting the playing time.

Without the stats, it is my observation that the coaching staff extensively used the whole roster against both Memphis and Cincy. I think they have done a good job of looking at and giving a chance to virtually every kid who is not red shirted. New coaching staff will have mucho tape on the whole roster. Problem is that I do not see much difference in the performance between the starters and the kids buried on the bench.
