Who recruited the punter? How much experience does he have?

I think we were prepared, just had a bad gameplan. We needed 4 LBs instead of 5 DL. The outside plays killed us again. That HAS to be a speed issue (or maybe just not enough LB's on the field).
The only positives were Higgins, Guillot, and not many mistakes. Army beat our players mano a mano. We just couldn't stop them. Knew what they were going to do and let them run us over time and time again.
Their WR were able to hold their blocks against our soft DB's, hence the pitch man was good for 8+ yards every play. Just for S & G they would gash us up the middle, but it wasn't necessary.
This post is disgusting and you should be ashamed -- it's unacceptable and a clear sign of a fair-weather fan. The fact that this is even a topic of discussion makes me sick.
Not sure why they hired this guy, I mean what has he done to deserve this position?????? I played under Bick so I can only imagine what is happening behind the scene. I really feel bad for those players. They actually have dam good players on this roster (Hunter Lee for example), so there is no reason to why this team should be performing the way they are. This team is just not well prepared week in and week out. Also, to blame Dykes for this is just crazy and actually pretty funny. I don't believe Holtz is the right coach to lead this program. Just my honest opinion.
That's because our Corner Back on one side (Liggins), NEVER ---and I mean NEVER-- would attack the line of scrimmage and make the tackle on the pitch man. To Barnes' credit, he DID attack the LOS on the other side in the 2nd half (or maybe it was after the rain delay?), and he (Barnes) had some really good stops on the pitch man.
It's not going to happen guys.

Apologies. This THREAD is what makes me sick.
2007 - Dooley's first year, 5-7
wins over Central Arkansas, New Mexico State, a 2-10 USU team, Idaho and SJSU -- ZERO QUALITY WINS
2008 - Dooley's second year
started the season 3-4 with wins over Mississippi State, SLU, and Idaho -- losses to Kansas, Army, Boise and Hawaii
Shaped up in a weak conference and went to the IBOWL
2009 - Dooley's third year wins over Nicholls, NMSU, SJSU and Hawaii...
Finished the season 4-8
2010 - Sonny's first year
finished 5-7
2011 - started season 1-4 before going to Poinsettia Bowl
SO HOW IS THIS YEAR DIFFERENT? Quit this FIRE HOLTZ nonsense and hope we get our stuff together in conference. Support the coach, allow him to get his players and his offense working and then judge. UNTIL THEN you support your coach.
No one is blaming Dykes... but when you have 2-3 returning starters on a team that ran a very precise special gimmick offense and everyone running that offense is gone, what do you expect?
And also guys I hate to break this to you but our players didn't show up to play the last two games of last season either.... this isn't something NEW.
