Sorry but it was more than QB injuries. 13, 14, 15 penities a game (almost had as many penities yard a ULL had offense), at the bottom on D1 in turnover ratio, could not handle the power run game, gave up too many big plays. The return and coverage teams to me seem to be a problem area. There were some good things, run game, O normally was 4 500 yards per game. The D pressured the QB (did not create TO) and when not hurt field goals were a give me.
To me those bad areas made it painful to watch even when we won. Winning the last two games was great but (last game was painful to watch because of penities turnovers and it was the 5th place sunbelt team that was totally one demenial) we were not hitting on all cylinders. 2nd Qtr was ugly. What would that game have been like if ULL had a QB that could actually hit a receiver. The D did do a good jumb getting after him, will give them that.
Normally you expect, unless you are hammered by injuries, because of the learning curve, your team gets better as the season goes on (like UK). This should be more true with a new staff. That did not happen for us. That is troubling.
Again winning that last game was great but again it was against the 5th place sunbelt team that finished with more Ls than Ws. And we won by 7 points. Is that where we want to be?
