Regarding our DB performance, I had to laugh at this

Part of that is the “ability” to get those better DB’s. Texas has it. Us? Maybe not so much.

If Gus at the end and Harsin were as bad to the AU program as is generally believed, why do we expect to look good in year two of Freeze?

I was under the impression the program was basically nuked when we fired Harsin

No reasonable person should have been expecting us to contend for any meaningful titles but there is no excuse to be non competitive in games like NMSU, Maryland, and Cal. Two of which were at home.

As another poster just mentioned, this isn't 5 or 10 years ago where you had to totally rebuild. In the era of portal and NIL you can make significant improvement by year 2. Yesterday looked like a mirror image of the worst of last season.

Freeze doesn't tap into the portal like that. He focuses on HS kids.

Needs to play nickel moving forward. It’s his natural spot.

Outside of a few plays I thought our DBs played well. A lot of throws were perfectly thrown from the qb. Not much you can do about those
