People here forget how much “bend-don’t-break” defense gets played at the G5 level.
We were without starters on the defense and the ones that are on the roster, in general, are carryovers from the CCS era. Is our d-line an issue? Absolutely. And so is that the plight of most teams at this level.
We are definitely a better team than the last 2 seasons; granted, I don’t even want to count the 2020 season.
Once Gerry and the team got settled and saw some points on the board, they played better. Again, that is the case for most teams in college football. This team is more confident and talented than we have seen under CJS thus far. They just need to play like it consistently. And I think we will see that more as we get into conference play. 4-5 wins (with a surprise sprinkled) is in front of this team. Olé! (Go Bulls. )
