As long as we're considering that the players had a hand in this too:
- vs ATM, our defense was horrid but even after all of that we had the ball and the lead and couldn't run out the clock because our RB coughed it up.
- vs Oklahoma, the players lost the bowl game because they quit. Both before the game (i.e. "opt outs") and during the game. (side note: This new system has created a very hated by-product where teams, that don't make the playoffs, quit.)
- the loss to LSU is inexcusable
Don't take any of the above as an excuse of any sort, to include making one for the Head Coach. It's simply food for thought.
