yeah. that agenda is called reality. something you're trying to change to fit your argument

They are too scared to see reality SFP, then all their e-knighting has been for naught.

It's certainly no excuse for the offense. The OL is veteran, the RBs and WRs are playing well, and the QBs aren't allowed to pass until it's completely expected.

I'd go with the guy arguing that white and Robinson are young even though they both seen significant playing time and/or started games since the middle of last season is the one with the agenda

i mean they are "young" but not in PT

if that's the standard, then we will be "young" until 2016 at the earliest when adams/harris/LF/williams/quinn/chi are 3rd year guys

we call that a built-in excuse

I think 17 true freshman are playing


Playing and Starting are 2 different things. The freshman that are receiving a fair amount of PT are our lone bright spot, WRs and RBs. Our veterans at OL and DL are the worst spots.

Didn't we play a shitload of freshmen and sophomores in 2011?

It gets tiring, but its also true. Did you see Bama's starting lineup yesterday? Almost all seniors and juniors. I think just one fresh starting on defense, and he was a redshirt.

Early departures have been the scourge that we all knew it would be, plus Miles does struggle finding a functional QB.

early departures are only affecting 2 areas this year: (1) the WR corps (and we're doing fine, there) and (2) DTs, where we are not doing well

our QB that left was a 5th year Sr

pretty much our whole secondary, LB corps, and DEs returned. our Rbs are upperclassmen with young backups

our OL lost a guy or 2 but returns tons of experience and its best player

No Miles signs duel threats to run an offense from 1970 built for a pocket passer

Is say its u available now

We are not as young as peoe pretend. Really we are young at qb and wr on offense and DT on defense

Vets everywhere else. Even at CB the 2 sophs played starters minutes last year

Youth is no excuse at all for bad scheme and poor game plan I g and lack of just basic fundamentals
