Peko, Odom, Rivers and Roy Williams missed 30 games combined. We started some guys named Tom Nelson, Brandon Johnson and Ndukwe. Our d-line was super weak that year.
A good coach can at least make guys look better than they really are. Lou has arguably made us look worse than our talent level. Especially in 2019, when you can't use the injury excuse.
Regardless of who we trotted out there, they were NFL caliber players who had no business giving up 400 yards rushing. It takes a special ineptitude to reach that level of bad.
All true sadly. Just makes me want Zim back.
