--Who are we as a team? What's our identity? Three years into Brewster and I don't see what mold or imprint he's trying to put on our program. A college team has to wear the identity of the coach. I feel like each week is a new season and a new gameplan and a new philosophy with our coaching staff.
--Three years into Brewster and we've played--count it--one game where we played above average in each of the 4-5 main facets of the game.
-Sometimes I feel like Brewster inherited a car from Mason. He put rims on it, installed a new stereo, had some body work done to it, and dropped in a new engine he bought on the cheap. Now the car goes faster and turns more heads. But sometimes it just doesn't want to run, and it's never a comfortable drive even when it does.
--How bad will this team be next year? We have ten seniors starting on defense and our offense would probably be ranked around #100 without Decker. Be afraid.
--There's no kind way to state this. Our offensive backfield (inclusive) is easily the worst in the conference, and probably as bad as any big conference school. I can't think of a worse backfield in the last two decades, come to think of it. It's quite stupifying to think about: nobody has to pay any attention to our backfield (inclusive) because nobody back there can beat them.
--There's no kind way to state this nicely either. Wisconsin came into our house and physically licked us. That there was a beat down. I wish we played football the way Wisconsin does. The irony is that we can and we have chosen not to. I've struggled with that decision from day one.
--That tight end screen that we blitzed into on third and ten? Cosgrove gets caught with his pants around his ankles as he innocently stands in the Larry Craig Stall with a "Who me?" look on his face.
--We have a starter on defense who is terrified of contact. Time for him to hit or sit.
--All our non-playside end has to do is fall down in front of his guy. He is literally a warm body on that play. Instead he whiffs and gets called for holding. You can't draw that up. A four point play, as we settle for three.
--I still think we have too many formations and wrinkles in our offense. An offense needs identity and rhythm. Part of the reason why our backs can't find holes when they're there is because 1) they don't have a feel for what's developing and 2) they don't have confidence that they can take their time.
--Too much of our playbook has stuff developing behind the line of scrimmage. I basically hate this at any level of football.
--Our o-line is not the only unit that needs to work on blocking. Our receivers are awful too.
--Last summer I said I'd probably be happy if we won three games in the B10. Everybody heckled. I just call them how I see them. At one level, this sport is not complicated.
--Studwell is hurting after today...you betchya.
