Agreed, Edsall squeezed just as much as he could out of his guys too.
We're using completely different systems and approaches to the game that Edsall used, and I think all of these guy are working their tails off, and the team, even though 2-4, is what it is, and is clearly an improving team.
I see no reason to think they won't continue to improve. They've got a homecoming game coming up in 6 days.
It continues to improve, one minute at a time, one step ata time, one play at a time, one meeting at a team, one practice at a time.
What is really tiresome, are the people that feel the need to call for a change in coaching, or a change in anything,that's happening so far.
The simple fact is that with the team we've got, we do not have lots of opportunity to make big time game changing plays and swings of momentum. We need to play near perfect football to beat top notch competition.
We were doing it for about 38 minutes of game time in all three phases yesterday.
Games, unfortunately, are 60 minutes.
We're moving in the right direction as a football program, in all aspects.
Only people that are willfully biased, ignorant, or unable to really process what's happening on the football field can not see it.
As for the line of scrimmage, aside from a very good play maker that WVU team has, we were actually dominating that line on both sides for the majority of that game.
McEntee is a QB growing through an exponential learning curve. What happened in the second half of that game at the line was no different than what happened in the first half.
What changed, was that after the fumble, McEntee clearly lost some swagger, and when we got down on the scoreboard, the pass rush started teeing off, and instead of looking down field as he was early, McEntee started looking at the pass rush as soon as he had the ball in his hands.
Bad things happen to an offense, when the QB is looking at the pass rush with the ball in his hands.
It's something that McEntee hasn't had to do yet, and he'll see it on film, and he'll correct it.
