The difference is - we were correct way back then, as seen being born out before our very eyes. Our O line sucked yesterday when going toe to toe against FCS. And it will continue to suck all year going against FBS. We do not have a QB that can throw. About the best we CAN do due to injury is give it to Oliver and see what his legs can do. Our receivers suck, and the Defense sucks like it always has. The only thing we actually have going for us right now is a punter.
With PJ and the option, we win yesterday. But the coaching and offensive scheme has already changed. That train has already left the station. Collins and players aren’t practicing that offense well enough to make it the centerpiece, and the whole point of Collins over the Monkens of the world was to install the Pro or whatever variation. Our objective now is to move on with the Collins offense. That is the end goal anyway. Being one dimensional in the running is where we are now, because passing is nonexistent. I state again, this day was always going to come.
It might have been a self-fulfilling prophecy. But that doesn’t negate the factual state of the program. We knew it was going to be like this. I figured 3 wins at best because I hoped we would have some sort of ability to throw the ball even poorly. We aren’t even at that level.
