Put A Fork In It!!
I never thought that I would ever utter these words, but thank God it's over. I've always had the "at least there is next week" mentality, however I'm glad that we won't be going to the "Nut" bowl to most likely get beat down by a Pac 10 scrub team. I know it's harsh, but it's true. This season was a disaster of Biblical proportions, and it's better off being buried as it is!! Contrary to what alot of Cane fans believe, this was not about heart, it was about lack of talent and a losing mentality drilled into their heads by a lame duck coach!! I was in Blacksburg last week and saw it for myself. We ran out of gas late in the game and didn't have the talent to finish off the come back!! So what was the problem in my opinion?? 1) Dropped Passes: Game after game this reciever corps dropped balls, which were right in their laps!
2) Inconsistent QB play: Alot of it was based on WR play, Kyle Wright trying to fit balls into double and triple coverage and no dependable back up for #3!!
3) A very disapointing defense: This was supposed to be a National Championship caliber defense, instead they gave up over 40 points 2 weeks in a row, couldn't stop Tashard Choice in the 4th qtr. and gave up 51 to OU!! Alot of the issue was that the offense never allowed them to rest, but still 51/48/44 points???
4) Baby J: What happened to Baby J?? This was a replay of Tyrone Moss!!
5) Bad play calling: Not all of the time, but occasionally this year, we looked like Cokers Canes with our play calling!!
Now that I have given my reasons that we fell apart, I'm ready to let go of "07 and look forward to "08. I know that next season probably won't be much better, but at least I can hope!! We have a hell of a class coming in next year and hopefully this trend will continue in the next few years. I think "09 will be the start of the turn around as do most Cane fans, so hopefully we can pull off a few upsets in "08 to hold us over!! GO CANES!!!!
