As am I... I honestly don't know what else to say. I'd feel better if SOMEONE on this team manned up and said we all collectively apologize to our fans, donors etc. A 1-6 team whipped them like rented mules. Can't wait to hear what gg has to say about it, if he's man enough. I mean the guy is blocking fans/donors on Twitter... Wasn’t claiming he was. Just stating who was a finalist. KC Keeeler went to Sam Houston, Ryan McCarthy was a finalist who was assistant head coach at the time. Can’t remember who else they interviewed. Hate to say it guys but GG ain’t leaving unless we all want to buy out his contract. We don’t have that kind of money as a school. This isn’t florida.

Don't forget another great local product and one of the best RBs in program history David McCarty from LaSalle Institute. That 2008 squad played a beast OOC schedule too and they ran over everyone. -
I agree with this statement. The mental and physical difference in a 17/18 year old vs. 22/23 year old is huge. So that leaves the question why not redshirt him also, so he has the 4 years of eligiblity since this is a transitional season? Transitional in a sense of new league and coaching tryouts. It seems to me that perhaps legendary Coach Ford has taken a step back this season to allow coaches a trial period. I believe a better job was done in recruiting this year...it could only get better. Right? I know we were pretty bare at LB due to graduation and recent injury so we're at a necessity to play them. Sometimes it's a good 'baptism by fire' affair if you're that thin at a position. And it really comes down to - what do you do to win? if a freshman has to play to give you the best chance to win, then you play him. For the most part if you don't need a guy to play then you don't play him - but sometimes as in the case of this year we have had to do it.

guys these are true freshman - these kids are 17/18 years old and are lining up against sometimes 22/23 year olds. it takes time for them to develop both physically and mentally - just because he was the man in high school doesn't mean he's going to be a 'dude' in year one and have 3 sacks and 20 tackles. the ole tell tale sign of something a little funky is the fact that we're starting a TRUE freshman on the offensive line at LG. Now he might of beaten someone out in camp for the job - but most of the times if we're starting someone fresh out of HS upfront then its either due to injury (which i don't think has happened) or guys behind them just stink which means we've done a poor job of recruiting in previous years at the position. The last guy I'm sure of contributing and playing a good amount on the o line as a true freshman is Sammy Pagano back in 2004.

Offense is looking like Duquense is just going to back down to them because we're in the CAA. O Line has to start grinding! -
