just an opinion of course, but I think the first part disproves the "sitdown/ass-chewing" part. Who is more at fault; Brock for running a "bad" D, ORRRR..... Mora for not effectively replacing guys like McDonald, Jelani Stafford, & Pryce Yates?
Brock is still Brock and he did well with the pieces he had last year. I say these D players are not getting it done. Saw some really uninspiring DLine play the last few weeks, dudes bouncing off OLinemen and trying again, and bouncing off again. no penetration at.all. You can't outscheme being consistently bullied at the line, you need to win some of the time, which we just cannot do to save our lives. And this is being bullied by the likes of CCSU and Ball State, to boot.
