OL is the incredibly obvious problem, but I’d say failure to recruit elite DL also contributed to the loss. Yes, you’d think we would beat NIU holding them to 16 pts, but we also didn’t stop them on D when we needed to. In the case of the DL the problem was foreseeable. In some ways the OL less so due to injuries.
End of the day, I just don’t think Freeman knows how to build a championship program at the personnel, coaching, and motivational level. Too bad because this would have been the year, but now I’m as concerned about 5 losses as I am making the playoffs.
In addition to coaching, prep, QB play, and mental weakness I’d add the OL/DL to the list.
