Seen a few things calling the team "paper dragons", or saying that we used "smoke and mirrors" to beat those teams. You know what beat those teams? A superior team punching them in their stupid, arrogant mouths.
The team that played BSU, and Baylor is NOT the same team that played the first 3 games. The difference? Those teams were healthy, and the team in the last 2 games were not.
I can't imagine that we would have been so easy to run on if we had Mahe and Pili. The passing attack wouldn't be as much of a problem either of we had Ellis.
And in offense? Jaren isn't the problem. We're missing OL starters. If we'd had a healthy OL on the right side then we would have gotten at least one more score when Jaren got blindsided.
We're hurt. But there have been no flukes. The depth isn't there yet, but it will be soon with a few P5 recruiting classes. We're 5-2 and 3-0 against the PAC12. This has been a FUN year and we've seen what Kalani is building is a tough, fun team to watch.
Enjoy the ride. This team has exceeded expectations, even while limping through the last 4 games.
