So much to say and feel. The play calling at crucial times was very passive and slow, the #18s and #7s did not play as they are expected to play, coach is not getting consistent discipline from his team, and the experienced players like Ryan, Burns, and Gilbert are not playing like they have three and four years experience. They are playing like they have one years experience four times. I am not sure about this last comment, but I fear Brian Kelly has lost his edge and focus. When you start coaching like this is your last stop, it’s subtle but small cracks begin to develop.
