Leg injury.

Much like the last few years of football gamedays, the in-game environment looks absolutely brutal. The AD must have some thoughts on how to cultivate an atmosphere for DI sports...but he came from Stanford where that piece of the puzzle doesn't matter...so maybe not. But still, there is a staff of full time employees who's job is specifically to manage these events. Reducing the role of the band-uh in favor of a DJ and a screaming old guy on the PA was a bad decision several years back and whoever is running the band today does not desire to connect with the crowd during timeouts. Adding the bar to the floor is some evidence of forward thinking but the execution was not great and the placement is a continued reminder of generations of poor communication between the athletic department and facilities management.

Bob Williams doing color commentary is the bright spot.

Completely agree with the comments on the offense. The staff's ability to identify and recruit perimeter players has been really impressive. In the backfield, Gilliam, as a freshman coming off his redshirt year, was able to do things in space that really hadn't been done before by a Davis back versus top level FCS competition. But as often said, the most challenging positions to evaluate are up front. For Hawkins & Co to take the next step they need to generate pressure without bringing 5 or 6 guys and it doesn't seem like that was addressed in this recruiting cycle or last. The return of the lineman from Concord may help, but the only consistent pressure last season came from Moe and Baumgart and they're gone.
