Almost a decade into Schiano 2.0 and we should be happy that RU was competitive with a team that was 2-10 the previous season? Beating Maryland gets the season back on track? It never should have been off track in the first place. RU got run off the field in their own stadium by a team with 53 new players that was WINLESS the previous season. Then they got beat by a 2-10 team that replaced their 4 star QB (who's shat the bed after transferring to RU) with a D2 QB. The minimum expectation was that RU would be 3-2 at this point. They've drastically underachieved.
you could say they've underachieved if we had talent that simply was not performing well. We don't have enought talent in the first place.
Our support has gradually increased, but it has not kept up with the increasing needs.
Where was the support to get a quality quarterback? A quality quarterback would have helped us beat UMass and BC. But because we've got two guys learning on the job, they're making mistakes, which is costing us wins. And while Schiano has made mistakes in the portal, he was constrained by a small budget, especially after having to pay Duff, Raymond, and Asamoah.
Consequently, there wasn't enough support to get quality defenders.
Defense stinks because we scrapped the bottom of the barrel for transfers.
true the minimum expectation was that Ru would be 3-2. But Anyone could see that if the transfers didn't pan out and if the line struggled to block, we would be in deep trouble. Murphys law has reared its ugly head, and it looks like very few of the transfers are going to pan out. We traded Bo Mascoe for a guy who can't make an open field tackle.
