Their Oline and defense are vastly over rated. The sack totals don't reflect how many times Rush had to throw it too quickly.
CMU's DBs are just not good. They give way too much cushion. They try to keep everything in front of them, but in doing so they leave huge gaps. Serpa is a nice player. Walton, who Reaghi says the NFL is drooling over was't nearly as good as Ash was at DT.
CMU is losing a lot.
Davis, Rawls, Walton, Butler (who had a nice game), Lopez and Chirroci LB, Henry and Phillips OL, Wilson and Chapman, and King at DB, and Kinville at TE.
I think they can replace many of them with as good or better players, but Davis, Rawls, Walton, and Chirroci will be very hard to replace. The DBs suck so I doubbt they can get any worse. They have some nice TEs. Phillips will be a loss, but Henry not so much, As for their Oline, Enos turned Oline U into Big Ten wannabe U.
He recruits size first, and dancing ability second. He wants Big Ten size up front, but he doesnt get Big Ten athleticism. Kelly was great at getting buys with dancing ability and putting muscle on them.
Anyway, I really hope they give him another year or two. They could win eight if they win a bowl game. Who would fire an 8 win coach.
