we ALL KNEW these canes were tiptoeing a 2-3 loss from the moment the season started.
how many games against low tier teams did we BARELY win this season?
Outside of spanking FSU— which was really nothing impressive— what other game proved we even belonged in the top 10?
yes there was moments of brilliance thanks to KING, our RB’s, our improving WRs and our portal Defensive players.
But these a 18-20 yo KIDS who just witnessed Blades get taken out by Covid for the season and maybe career.
how many of them are thinking “**** what happens if I get Covid and lose my football career?” Or for Phillips/Roche/King who are eyeing the draft in 5 months thinking if they should shut it down to protect themselves from a Baldes scenario??
how many of them have lost a family member to Covid that we don’t hear about? (Considering it affects AA’s at high rates)
Life is reality and these kids are riding a rollercoaster of school, football, and Covid.
how many of us are carrying that kind of weight and ballin’ out in life??
I know grown-*** people who are doctors, attorneys, and business professionals who are crashing and burning in life due to all the craziness of 2020...
this is a moment to stop the delusional mindset that these kids shouldn’t be affected by anything in life but football.
We are what we are....
An improved offensive team because of King/Lash and the kicking game
A defensive team the took 2 steps forward w Roche and Phillips.... and 2 steps back from an otherwise C-rate defensive team.
don’t be surprised if they lose the bowl game as well....
Reality is hard to dodge.
