re: Coaching lost this game. Offense, Defense & Les. Please read.

B+ for effort. Not so good on the content. Bottom line, when that many veteran players leave for the NFL (or, at least, try to) each year, it is impossible for us to remain dominant in the trenches. I don't care how good they were in high school, unless they're absolute freaks (like Nkemdiche), they're just not going to be that effective without a year or two of collegiate level strength and conditioning. Moo State had a bunch of 3,4,and 5th year players pushing our guys around like they were scout teamers.

And by the way, if you haven't noticed, a lot of our freaks are leaving the state (CRob, GW3, Speedy, Kenny Young, et al).
