Winning is contagious and fosters a positive attitude. However, a good coach places the win in perspective and evaluates it according to the strength of the team played and the execution of the O/D schemes. In our win against SEC team Ole Miss, we saw some serious flaws that needed immediate correction (failure to convert in red zone, confused play calling - relaying plays onto the field in a timely manner, over thrown balls, lack of truly established running game - although Alisa looked great on his catch and run - showed glimpses of things to come, defense struggling with zone read - run option/pass). Clearly we needed improvement and it took the coaches a while to make necessary changes. We weren't as dominant as we should have been and something didn't feel right throughout the game and clearly in the TX, UT and USU games as well. The Heaps hype over the summer had seriously impacted the team and chemistry and it showed as the season progressed.We just witnessed the fall -out, but all knew something wasn't clicking.
My hope, is that we beat Tulsa in similar style as the HI victory, and then build upon that momentum in the off-season - tailoring the O to Nelson and Lark and the weapons we have. I don't believe that Nelson has the same issues as Jake does, and therefore, I expect continued improvement and consistency from him and the team. Of course, another in depth evaluation of the coaches is in order - starting with a QB coach and quite possibly on OL coach (rather disappointed in how dominant we were supposed to be with all of the returning starters).
