I have been critical of the coaching staff and felt that they floundering. The team effort last week was bad and it seemed like we were reverting to last years form.
I WAS WRONG.
The team fought hard all day and there were times that they could have checked out and just gone through the motions. That did not happen. We responded to adversity by tightening our chin straps and playing harder.
The coaches play calling was much better and the execution by the the team was much better. The coaches had the team ready to play.
I realize that we are young and will continue to make some mistakes. As long as the effort is good and we don’t make the mistake over and over again, I think that this team will continue to grow and will win another game or two. While a bowl bid is still unlikely, the growth of the team will be evident and should bode well for next season.
Again, congratulations to both the team and the coaches.
