Agreed about the OL...There are going to be injuries and you just do your best with what you have. I do have a serious problem with the play calling though. Its completely different from last year, absolutely no imagination. I think whoever is calling plays needs to be replaced. Also, and it pains me to say it, Cam was terrible yesterday. It almost seemed like the team had been out partying friday night and that they weren't ready to go. You could tell which players wanted that game, and it wasn't the guys in Purple. I'm sure that there are a lot of guys who are absolutely frustrated and angry, and did everything they could, but you need all 11 on the field doing the same thing. Weber wasn't all there, Montana was. Weber made Montana's defense look great by how badly they played. The UM defense is not good, but when you can predict every single play, amazingly, you'll look great.
I'm not going to lean on the Ref excuse, even though there were a lot of missed calls, a few on the both sides, but thats the game of football.
Another thing, the defensive front needs to get tougher. They are SOFT and it showed yesterday. Linehan and the Beast can only do so much. After the beast went out, the front virtually did nothing and allowed UM to run all over the field. My game ball goes to Sedillo and Hadley they kept doing everything they could to keep their team in the game, but it wasn't enough. The guys I feel the worst for are the seniors, especially Toone, you could tell how much he wanted that game, it just wasn't to be.
Its really funny, Montana fans don't really understand that the only seniors on this team that will be lost that can't instantly be replaced are Toone, Hadley, and Linehan... All the rest, definitely will be missed, and have done a great job, but are replaceable. The best thing about Mac is that he can recruit! Weber's best players are their up and comers, lets just hope we get some good, young, imaginative coaches to help them develop. I for one want to go back to our spread offense and stop being so damn conservative. Open it UP!
