As bad as the MAC has been this year, they should be sent to Dayton for a play in game for punishment!
Looking back, with the exception of Freeman, there's really no one that has exceeded expectations. Tribble's offense was certainly improved. Ali is the same player he was two years ago and has not lived up to his pre-season first team All-MAC status. Hunter's the same guy we saw the last two season. Dawson has been bad. Nate gets an incomplete (and an inconsistent). Scott was merely a defensive presence. Thornton was meh. Tavari failed to grow as a player. Lyles is merely a 5 minute a game player. I guess maybe we got more out of Prather than expected. At the end of the day, this team needs guys to step up to help Freeman and that's not happening recently.
Sure, the talent's there on paper, but since they left for JMU, they've folded like paper when challenged.
