Let's reverse engineer things shall we. It is fair to say, beyond Vegas having us as a 7 point favorite, that we all expected us to beat MSU. I hope we can all agree that's a fair statement.

First, Ed Paris shouldn't have been playing. Last couple years he's had no reps or meaningful game time and it showed. For us to have the #1 safety and every week he's in a new position but safety is mismanagement.

DL is thin and hurt. But why? A couple players were suspended. Is it fair to ask why they felt the need to commit an infraction they assumed they would get away with (or maybe get the Arden Key special treatment) exposing others to injuries by having to carry a larger share?

We got down and then got behind further..and further...and further, showing an inability to come back by making a run. Earlier last week before MSU, O stated we don't need to run 4 WR sets, except we did for the first time when down 30 on the road. Mismanagement.

I could go on. The point is, I and we for whatever reason have chosen to write off glaring examples of program mismanagement by O. Again I was deaf dumb blind giving him the benefit of the doubt everytime. You don't just accidentally lose by 30 out of nowhere to a team we all expected to beat. I fear so many mistakes have been made that unless drastic changes are made quick a collapse to 4 or 5 loses is realistic.

This is hilarious.

1) you don't want to play Ed Paris because he hasn't had many game reps but I'll assume that you want to play Stevens or Delpit instead who have even less experience

2) just because Jacoby was rated the #1 safety by third party recruiting sites doesn't mean dick. Delpit>Stevens at safety. At least right now. Rankings have a lot to do with ceilings and while Stevens has a high ceiling, he is raw as a safety.
