We're 2-3 facing playoff elimination essentially and this is how we start I know we're tired, battle-tested and have traveled to North Dakota twice in about 15 days but where's the motivation?
I agree recruiting is better than it has been on paper. Maybe I'm just jaded from watching years of FCS teams outrinning our guys. At any rate, it doesn't hurt to assume the worst when prepping for games.
In regards to last season, we didn't get to playoffs because of the defense, that's for sure. We got there because we could put up points and when we were in a tight spot you could just chuck it in the general direction of Keelan and he'd make the play. I'm hyperbolizing but you get the drift, we had specific tools that really worked and could compensate for weaknesses
Crawford caught a pass today. TT looked beat up walking off the field last week. So we're thin at RB with Facey out for the year, and our FB is a converted TE we rarely use. We have a converted WR and a couple of walk ons.
