I've spent a fair amount of time this evening commiserating with my son and posting complaints on this board. I won't leave '09 behind and embrace 2010 in this state of mind. So, the positives I see for the upcoming season. Of course, this is not an attempt to cover every valid point, so if any of you feel the need to look on the hopeful side, here is an opportunity.
First, I'm looking forward to a decent recruiting class coming on board in a little more than a month. Then comes spring and a chance to see if there has been a shift in philosophy regarding QB and some other things I'm concerned with. Personally, I think that by the overall level of play in tonight's bowl game that we're starting to see the difference between young players and mature ones. Did anyone else feel like the RBs were less content to hit a pile and get knocked down, that they both, especially Eskridge, were more creative and patient trying to find open space?
Gray has star potential and we saw a flash of it tonight. He also has AP's problem, but we can't know for sure until he gets regular time on the field. The WR corp is developing into something special. The OL has pass blocked very well a good share of the time and tonight gave our passers as much time as any I've seen in the bowl games. Love the defense in many ways.
Next season? More experience, maturity, developed talent. My hope is that by this time next year I'll finally have complete trust in the coaching staff. Hmmm . . . not too articulate, but as positive as I can master right now. Happy New Year!
