Is the program where you thought it would be?

I had them going 8-4 so that's a positive. For the most part Freeman isn't getting his ass kicked in big games like Kelly did. The down side is where the offense is heading when your WR's are leaving, Hartman regressed and they are no closer to having a solid QB room than when he took over. Morrison is a stud but no one has really taken away a job from Kelly's guys on defense. Baptiste did a great job but you can only rely on transfers so long. Maybe he wins ten games and slides into the playoffs IF they beat USC in the last game.
