Last year 4 new starters and the one returning starter was playing a new position and the QB was a statue who didn't have to be accounted for in the run game and had no mobility to avoid pressure. Then the star freshman left tackle, Fisher, was out for the season in the first game, then his replacement was injured and they had to go to converted TE freshman (who was developed by secret phone sessions with HH into a freshman All American), etc. No excuse, we were told. But now excuses are acceptable again? Wonder why.
