Maybe that was part of the problem. There was something dreary and tired-sounding about "Grind" that was uninspiring. Grind is what I'd think of my job if I worked on an assembly line at General Motors, putting the same tedious widget into the same drab whatzis nine thousand times a day. No joy in it. Certainly, no creativity or individual achievement, except questionable props for grimly enduring. Perhaps the attitude it represented carried over onto the listless, un-energetic play on the field we saw much of this season.

It appeared to me we did not grind but we coasted. Grinding is the New England Patriots..we were more like the Jerry Jones Cowboys entitled and thinking we were "America's team,

I don't think the team had any sense of entitlement at all...they just never gelled offensively, until The Game, due to the QB situation.

The lines set the tone for the season..the OL had issues..with snaps penalties and missed assignments and the DL got manhandled by Sparty in the run game(Penalties too). We waited too long to get serious about the season ..we went downhill execution wise from the first game. The team itself said it would flip the switch when needed ..football doesn't work that way in college. If there was a 16 team or 8 team playoff we could have done that.

So, if the OL had issues due to the QB carousel and happened to struggle against a strong defense that had 8 in the box every down, it means that did so because they felt entitled. Right.
