So far we’ve only lost to teams we should have lost to, we’ll find out how good this team is in the next stretch of games

Totally agree!

Since when has football become rocket science? Football is 90% about recruiting a d leadership, 5% strength and conditioning, And 5% on schemes and play calling. But recruiting and leading a team is the main thing. Most coaches that are the best at X's and O's can't recruit (Pelini).
The recruiting is the most important part of the job and a former HS principal should have the skills to relate to the kids he's recruiting.
We are a project. So he missed at QB and he's got a problem at OC. He will learn and get it fixed. Luke Fickle at Cincinnati buit his program the same way. But it took him several years. Winning isn't going to come overnight after what Pelini did to the recruiting and how he left the cupboard bare.
Don't let your expectations get out of line. I think Phillips is the right guy for the job, and I've heard the kids love him.

Well said. Everybody remember that Phillips inherited Crenshaw. His recruits at QB are freshmen and unknown commodities.

Agreed. Everybody in this league will lose to NDSU by at least 13 points, probably more inside their gym. This North Dakota game will tell us a lot. Good offense, not very much defense, not a good track record of winning on the road. We shall see.

Before waving the white flag on this team because of a halfway respectable loss to NDSU, let's judge them on their next slate of games...
vs. North Dakota (3-2)
vs. Indiana State (1-3)
@ Western Illinois (0-5)
vs. South Dakota (1-3)
@ Illinois State (2-2)
@ Missouri State (2-3)
vs. Southern Illinois (3-2)
We have a fairly decent stretch where we SHOULD win some ballgames... I see no reason why we can't win maybe 3-4 of those. Now, if they completely lay eggs against the likes of Western Illinois, Indiana State, and South Dakota... then panic and start calling for some BIG changes. But let's see what happens during what should be the easy part of the schedule.
And for the record... not a Crenshaw fan either.

I see MD is pictured on the advertisement for this week. Does that mean he gets the start?
