re: Gilbert is a downgrade from Canada

Guice was also hurt for a brief moment this year unlike last year he was always healthy.

Guice was also used as a bettering ram against 8 and 9 man fronts. There seem to be more space and lanes the year before. Not saying it's the main reason, but it was very boring watching this season as we had studs on the sidelines while trying to make stars out of Gage and Dillon.

QB did have a lot to do with not putting the ball in the air, but we saw what happens when you give guys opportunities to come in a make plays. ND used the backups to beat us on the last play.

Maybe Canada would have opened up a little more the second year, but it was not very promising watching the product he displayed against ND. Very lackluster and not productive. Don't remember seeing Davis or any of the big athletes have any chances in that game.

Guice being hurt had nothing to do with being ranked 84th in passing offense and near the bottom in red zone scoring
