Their collective mis-read on what they had in fall camp led to another early season swoon.
Denbrock gave the best football player in America 10 carries in Miami. He had Carr throw it 30 times in his first start.
Ash made changes to the defense that the players could not understand. It took a quarter of the season to get that straightened out.
Freeman now has a history of poor starts. In the playoff era, this has to be corrected immediately.
2025: 0-2 start.
2024: 1-1 start.
2023: 5-2 on October 7.
2022: 0-2 start.
