This defense is elite and smart too. They weren't going to risk their safety for a coach that would name Rosier as the starter. That's an insult to any player on the team.
If you were this defense why are you going to sacrifice your body when your coach names Rosier the starter? You have no chance at winning. Willis had an excuse to not play. The rest of the guys don't so they're just trying to avoid injury.
We have a D-2 qb trying to lead us against a power 5 team. The coaches were able to mask Rosier's weaknesses for a while last year, but teams have figured him out and Rosier is going to get us embarrassed.
