Don't you think that it might be hard for him to know exactly how guys that didn't play last year much or at all are going to perform in a game vs fall practice? Also, we lost a few guys that he might have been counting on to help us like MLP. The injuries to our QB's haven't exactly helped him out much against a very difficult early season schedule. On top of that, our most productive offensive players are freshmen (Bushman, Tolutau, and Pau'u). Hard for Detmer to figure that going into the season don't you think?
Our defense is not helping out much by being one of the worst in the country at generating turnovers and creating short fields for the offense. Our starting field position against BSU was like the 20 yd line as opposed to BSU's starting field position of the 41 yd line (which includes one drive that started at the 3 yd line).
