ChinaFan Intervention Needed
I was mad yesterday, Chaz missed some tackles, I shouldn't have outed him... That said, we all need to give the team and
the coaches a little break.

Take a gander at our roster. 98% FR & SO players, meaning that even with the 'covid' year they are playing this year with maybe ONE year out of HS, but as likely with ONE year removed from a mission. We have TWO SRs on this team, Kapisi and Samson Nacua. That's it. We have ONE JR (Empey).

So, we need to consider how we've allowed performances that allowed us to whack PAC12 teams, USF and USU, to really give us some unrealistic expectations against teams like Baylor who were sporting not just TWO super-SRs, but 18.

We are lucky to be getting the production from the OL we have. They are still developing into those big bruisers that you see when a guy hits their JR and SR seasons with three years in the weight room and nutrition program.

We forget that even the D has basically a bunch of Super-Sophs running around out there who got some PT in mop up in 2020, but didn't really get a chance to settle into a roster position and be the guy. I forget Chaz spent last year watching, not playing. He's still raw, and now out of position.

The key is that even with this group, we need about 6-8 good solid portal guys who want to spend a SR season with us next year to fill a couple gaps like at LB where we need some bigger bodies and can let guys like Chaz and Pyper play safety.

I'm guilty, I'm sorry, and wow, this could be a good team still for the youth and experience that is on the field.
