There is a lot of blame here, but there are few teams in the country that could lose their top five receievers against every quality team on their schedule and have much of an offense. Throw in rookie quarterbacks and a bad OC and it's a candidate for disaster. Throw in having their weakest position losing three of their top six to start the season, and you end up 4-4 with four to play. A reminder that we've played the most brutal schedule in school history, and you have the likelihood of failing to make a bowl game a reality. If we get a couple of receivers back, then I think we have a chance to win two, of the left tackle issue is solved. 71 ain't the answer.
There are things about the way BV does things that I don't love. But he is a quality coach. From my perspective, the jury is still out on whether he's going to become a quality head coach or not. But the circumstances this year, are not any kind of place to hold judgment on him. You don't throw away good.
