So the fix is find 3 OL starters and a bruising RB from the portal and within the first 2 weeks of the season all of these new pieces will be in unison and scoring at will against Texas.  Did you watch this team at all this year, our offensive woes ran deeper than a bad line.

Just because things get worse with every single player week lose and every single player we pickup does not mean the trend will continue its obvious path. maybe you forgot we have the portal master and scoring people that have failed in other programs is way more valuable than actually scoring, we are like the SPCA of college football.

Really bad Qb ...can't get beyond the 2.

McCloud is the worst in the country. Period!

How did he get here? Because I forget.

Well they didn't fail at other schools. Someday you will come to the realization that P5 schools are stacked talent. We have D3 talent. I would take all our portal gets again.

Now looking towards 2020 and the first game against Texas.

This is the key to the off season and how we can win this game. 

These 3 players:

Barnett and Mason receive a medical RS. Both are eligible and I don't have to explain to a few of you on how this is possible. Do your own homework. This team was so bad this year due to the really awful qb play. If Barnett receives a medical red shirt, this would give a capable QB who actually is a qb. If Barnett gets a medical, it will allow the future qb, Rodemaker, to be eased into the system and learn. If not, Rodemaker is pretty dang good and can at least go through a progression. If Patrick Mason, gets the medical, he can be key to stopping the Horns Down running game up the middle. I am happy with the progress of Greear and Boyles as the season progressed. In addition, Mims gave us really good spot play and that will just give us a good core and not to forget Bellamy. The LB's will be the strength of the D.

The Oline:  While probable the worst I've ever seen, it is a great day to see Atterbury and Norman to move on. Hopple should have been playing RT the whole year and Norman at RG. Yes Billy is that bad. I really think, and I know you don't want to hear it, just getting 3 lineman through the portal from up north or the midwest. Part of this team's problem is chemistry and there are too many kids on here from the same area. In other words, if you look at all the p5 schools in the state of Florida, with maybe the exception of UF, the OL stinks all the way across the board.

Joiner Jr., with some added weight in the off season will be a real jewel. If we can keep Ford on the team and out of the doghouse, it will be a really nice one two punch. I would not stop there, we need a bruiser somewhere and you know were we can find one. 

I think that the receivers will be fine, we have a kid from Tn sitting out this year and another freshmen coming in that I think will be dynamic. McDoom will come of age next year now that he has found some success. Mathis will be good as a TE and would like to see Lloyd or Carter step up.

For Heaven's Sake, go find a grad place kicker. Burke probably needs to be fired at this point.  

On the defense: 

The D is missing just a few pieces. We really need 2 DB's. I think Davis can replace Studstill, but we need a free safety and guy to rotate any position in the secondary. I think Thaxton will surprise you next year and the juco DT looks nasty on film. We really needed him. Most of the problems with the D is they were gassed by the woeful offense. We started to play a lot of young kids at the end and I was happy about that.

 

Now Texas is a big Physical Team that uses a running QB to wear you down. We are going to need the Lb's to be disciplined and the ends to make Ehlinger scramble early. They have tall WR's that can kill you if Ehlinger can get it close.  For a team that has 2 prior top 5 national recruiting classes, they are not that fast or impressive. Make them play from behind and turn it into a shootout, we can win.  I think our D is the key to this one. I am confident that our young guys will get bigger and stronger this off season and CCS will add about 4 transfers to that side of the ball. We need impact players and CCS will go get them. If we get ran off the field, it will because he let Roberts start and play. The kid is plum awful when it comes to tackling. 

 

 

Barnett is not eligible for a 6th year redshirt.

You can't argue with the results, am I right? Oh wait...

Who recruited our “D3 talent”?

Was it Taggart, who has multiple former recruits balling out in the NFL?

Or was it Chuckles? And why would that change with Chuckles moving forward? Why would his recruiting suddenly improve in offseason #4, after three seasons of diminishing returns?

He took a voluntary redshirt his freshman year and did not miss the season due to “incapacitating” injury.
