TCU can be argued an outlier, I get that.

But the past 4 weeks, D has really struggled.

I do think Van and specifically these last 4 weeks, may have given us 1 more year of CM. Also think CM wants to leave and therefore, IF he stays, he has to replace him.


Boredom/ADD on a Sunday morning -
1) I limited to AAC teams and their stats against conf opponents
2) I did not adjust for non-defensive scores - i.e. pick 6, special teams, etc.:

Why is our bad defense shocking to anyone? Have you been watching the team this year? Why don't we try different players or schemes? Can it get any worse?

well we haven't seen Spears except on Special Teams but we have added Delano Robinson, McQueen, Lancaster, Delointe Scott, McNew, Ward and Shaine Hailey in recent weeks and that seems to have only ignited the conflagaration. We are rotating a bunch of kids on Defensive Line. That's when I say its time to reevaluate and head to JUCOs with all remaining offers except for Erik Ezukanma who is a potential NFL level WR.

Logical solution. We need a quick fix.

I just wonder what Riley Ferguson could have done to us if he spent as much time studying the playbook as he does in the tattoo parlor

Watching the game I had similar thoughts.
