^^^ these are some of the questions that I wish we could hear the coaches comment on and get their thinking. The UW scheme is different at almost every position.
Separate thread / post: This is not a players thing, it is entirely on the staff for scheme, personnel choices, development, and even motivation. Five losses in a row plus two more (likely) in a mediocre big12 including giving up 50+ to Kansas is coaching. This is a Texas excuse every single year and it's a scape goat. We have other (albeit often young) corners, safeties, and lbs that could play and / or be moved around (ford, gbenda, Blackwell, coffe, adimora, cook -- plays less now with heavy, dorbah, richardson, and whoever else). I am not suggesting we win the big 12, but blaming players for this is a joke. You can see the offenses potential, the defense is a complete failure. We are ranked 100+ in the country for D. With high three and four star guys on the bench.
