This staff always has the team ready. The reason we lost those games in the past was because the coaches didn't care that the players were carrying on all week acting like the upcoming game was a mere scrimmage.Can't overstate this. This staff has avoided the incredible collapses against the Ohio, YSU, etc. that you mentioned. Although that's not the ultimate goal, it's a huge step in the right direction .
Narduzzi has the boys in line, and at the very worst this will always be a consistent football program. Even hopefully in a few years a power. The progress we've made already under him I think is remarkable. We just have a really, really sad, pathetic, impossible to watch defense. But when haven't we? It's been rare.
