It looks like JMU had a fair number of OL personnel return, sure. On the other hand, we had a fair number of offensive players return as well as that hasn’t panned out. Not sure how that alone provides proof for anything.
But your statement clearly implied JMU had more numbers coming back, which was not true. I’m just tired of people claiming one thing and saying another, there’s too much of that in this country right now.
I’d love to see how many teams who return 4 starters on their OL that just so happen to stink. Probably half of the country. Lol
THE biggest problem this year is our OLine.
BY FAR!!!
Even our QBs would look better if they were playing behind JMU’s returning OLine.
Not saying we’d be as good a team as JMU, but we certainly wouldn’r be as God awful as we are.
Not with this OL coach and OC. You have to be kidding. They literally ruined Parker Jenkins.
I think this Oline coach and OC would look a lot better as coaches with what JMU had returning up front.
MUCH more to work with.
We have WRs wearing QB bands. It’s evident they wouldn’t. Lol
But Sneed and Sanford have looked better.
I will admit Sneed has better vision. We knew this from his HS film. So i fully understand why Sneed fits the zone run scheme. The Jenkins fall off is still mind boggling. He’s almost guaranteed to transfer.
I left the stadium late last night and ran into Boogie Johnson on the way out. He looked about as down as someone can get. Gave him a fist bump and told him we believed and to keep getting it; I hope it gave him some kind of encouragement.
There is no talent issue on the Cougars side of the ball on offense or defense. There is a mental issue on both, however. Which are bad decisions that lead to drive killing penalties, The roughing the passer call in the 1st quarter on us was blatantly obvious. An offensive ‘scheme’ that is so simple and one dimensional words fail me. Fritz has made zero progress with this team. I never expected to win a lot of games this year. I did expect our kids to be well coached. They are not well coached if anyone is doing any coaching at all.
I’m glad they have looked better. Considering that still means we haven’t scored in two games, I’m willing to say they haven’t looked ‘better’ enough.
So sad. Man they are literally failing these kids. SMH
It really bummed me out, man. There was a string of them walking out, all of them heads down, and headphones on. Stephon was the only one without headphones so that’s why I said something.
Yep.
I didn’t start caring until the 2019 szn.
Same with football. I didn’t start caring until after the Memphis game in 2015.
At some point, regardless of the coaching, maybe the players are not Division 1 players. If they are best players on the team, imagine what would happen playing the 2s and 3s.
Forget rebuilding. The team is just straight up tanking bad. Not showing no fight or improvement since the Rice game. 8 straight quarters without a single point scored!!! A school known for offense is abysmal. Not having a competent QB is on the coach.
Don’t talk about the future or recruits when they aren’t even on campus. Show me how the team overall is getting better 
Phil Steele always used returning oline as the number one factor whether a team would have success
That’s because it IS the number one factor.
And that’s why comparing JMU’s situation to ours is apples to oranges, as I said.
Steele right to do so. O line play determines offensive success. If you can’t push people around or pass protect effectively your SOL. 4 of the 5 can play quite well if you have 1 who doesn’t consistently being the weak link so to speak it it doesn’t matter how great the rest play. UH got 4 weak links not 1. 
No reason in the transfer portal era you can’t win year one.
