Not many adjustments to speak of, players misused or not used at all, gameplans that were headscratchers (defense vs Army). I think everyone that doubted Holtz had every right to do so based on the evidence that was 2013 Tech football. This year seems to be a different story, but the jury is still out. UNT and ULL, neither of whom can throw a forward pass, aren't the measuring stick. We'll see how we fare in conference. Hopefully we sustain our momentum we have built the last two weeks.
oops-- I saw defense have 8 games giving up 24 points or less, and 1 30pt game that included pick six. I saw freshman qb playing with broken ribs and another playing like a wimp. Dixon was hurt most of yr and wide receivers were not getting open and were too small. we had 57 yrs rushing against Army. lost by 19-- Holtz kept one of our best recruiters as Defense co-ordinator and after 1 yr replaced him. I gave Holtz benefit of doubt for several reasons, still has 2 CUSA titles, several teams ranked in top 20 at various points of season, his recruiting before playing first game, a 90-72 lifetime record coming into last year and realization we got him because he did not need his usual payscale. He has the 500k coming from being fired for a few more years. We lost 2 games because our key players had turnovers -- trying so hard-effort errors. I have posted this several times but it my opinion based on what I see as facts. Understand, folks who sit around me will attest the attitude was severly test many times last year, what I said at games was not what I post, remember first time Higgins came in? 3 pt lead and he throws pick six. those were obstacles he faced-- I have always said give him 3 yrs and evaluate. We have 9 more games, CUSA tournament ( i hope) and Bowl. lets see what happenes. ALL BETS OF IF DEMONS WIN-- vegas has no line on game
