Before this season started everyone expected this collection of talent to have perhaps one of the greatest offensive seasons in history. We had the whole team coming back with Braxton Miller as an added weapon. It was the reason this team was voted as the only unanimous #1 in AP pre-season history.

All it took was Tim Beck's completely inept play calling to squander all that talent. Perhaps Warriner not being focused on the o-line also added to the problems. If Beck isn't given the Everett Whithers treatment, look for similar results next year. Except sadly scUM is only going to get better and Sparty isn't going away either so maybe more lopsided losses. I really hope that this loss lights a fire under Urban and he makes major coaching changes.

As for the defense, same passive schemes last 8 years we've seen under Fickell. All I can say about him is that he does not get any head coaching offers. A truly great coach like Herman got a lot of offers last year.
