I have no idea why Taggart stuck with Francois, unless he is planning on redshirting Blackman or starting his recruited freshman next season. Regardless of the QB position, he needs to figure out the penalty issue. Way, way too many drives were killed by penalties.

Good news:

Eberle has to graduate, so won’t have his ice skating ass giving up pressure up the middle.

Defense looks like it can be great if they fix a few coverage problems.

It most certainly was disappointing, but so was last season.  We were 5-6 when Benedict quit on us.  I think he stuck with Francios for a couple of reasons.  One, you gotta admit, kid has heart.  They beat the ever loving shit out of him and he kept getting up.  The more I watched, the more I got an idea of his problem.  He wasn't stepping into his throws, anticipating hits.  What does that mean?  I don't think Blackman's small frame could withstand that beating.  Deondre also showed a lot of leadership on the sidelines.  Two, I think you may be right on the redshirt.

The penalties and porous line doomed the offense early, and often.  They MUST clean that up.

I'll be so glad to see him leave.

I think the defense will be improved next season.  They were young this year on the back end, and no Derwin James balling out to bail them out. Both of the Samuels kids showed some flashes.

I hate we're losing Patrick.  I like Cam Akers, but having a punisher back there is nice.
