Lots of hand wringing on the board the last 3 weeks re qb woes, Croft mess, lack of depth, Duke suspension, various injuries, burning RSs unwisely according to some, "culture" controversy, D breakdowns, Fleck coaching mistakes, OL failures, running game sputtering etc...miss anything?
Ok...0-3 in the BIG is nasty failure no matter how many times PJ says it's all good process growth.
OTOH, maybe this rube is nuts, but for the most part, I have found the GGs playing entertaining football!
No real blowout losses...yet, lots of talented new faces seeing time, some creativity on the O side refreshing, LBs playing at a high level, Croft promising, Johnson very impressive plus other wrs emerging and remarkably, the back end somehow holding up better than most expected.
For me...even with the losses, I have enjoyed watching this team improve over the past three weeks.
Based on what's gone down thus far, the next 6 games are unlikely to be boring.
Can Fleck's guys put together another 3-3 set and get themselves at least to a fringe bowl?
Given all the missteps so far, would be quite an achievement to keep MNs bowl string alive in year zero!
