Couple of things...

PROS:
  • It was nice seeing them fight with their backs against the wall after the half. They could have rolled over, but they didn't.
  • Finally some signs of life in the running game. Both Weber and Dobbins ran hard and had some big gains.
  • Pretty balanced offenss
CONS
  • They had to fight back against a 2-6 team at home.
  • They allowed a 2-6 team to hang around until the end...at home.
  • The defense sucks. Flat out. It is not good at all.
  • Fucking turnovers.
  • The LBs and CBs, in particular, are terrible. There's too much talent on this roster to be so. The LBs are a major weakness for the 2nd straight year. Davis has to go at the end of the year. Has to. Taver should really be evaluated, too, but I suspect he gets a second year to turn it around. Don't think he should, though. The CB struggled fall directly on coaching.
  • A win is a win, I suppose, but I don't feel much better than I did two Saturdays ago.
  • I think we beat Maryland, Sparty is a toss-up and I fear scUM is gonna eat our lunch. Our myriad weaknesses and their couple of strengths don't line up in our favor.
  • Have i mentioned how much i HATE this season?

This team won't be improving talent wise overnight. So they're going to have to focus and improve the fundamental play, situational IQ and approach to offensive playcalling. It's that simple.
These team needs to run the ball more effectively for starters.

That is the thing that is so irritating. The talent is there but this team lacks the mental stuff.
