We need Defensive linemen

Its obvious that we are paper thin on the D-line. Do we have any O-linemen that we can plug into the defense? Coach Bowden has said that the O-line is probably our most experienced unit with the most depth. Dylan Brumbaugh was a very good defensive end in high school. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

My experience in managing managers is the bad ones overreact when something goes wrong and they start making erratic decisions that create more problems than solve the original problem. Expecting an offensive lineman to get plugged into the DLine mid season will do nothing to solve the problems this team has. This is D-1A football and not high school football.

Talent isn't solved in the middle of the season. The talent issue is a huge problem and needs to be addressed off season. Bowden didn't have much time to bring in may players last recruiting season.

Until the talent is better, the coaches have to coach what they have better and the players have to do a better job at executing the game plan.

We just went from "every remaining game looks winnable" (after Tenn.) to "don't see another win on the schedule" after being exposed by BG. I've seen the lack-of-depth movie before...we went back to becoming unwatchable in the 2nd half. With 6 games remaining and a 3-season record of 3-27, I want to see some redshirts get burned at any/all positions that can help us win a couple more games this season. It's good we tried to preserve them but the time has come. We'll be in a much better position to worry about 4 years down the road, 4 years down the road.
