Rosier is a 5th year Sr. (our original starting QB)
Our OL consisted of:
LT: St Louis (Senior)
LG: Mahoney (RS Junior)
C: Gauthier (Senior)
RG: Donaldson (Sophomore)
RT: Scaife (**True Freshman)
RB:
Homer (Junior)
Dallas (Sophomore)
WR:
Cager (RS Junior)
Langham (RS Senior)
Harley (Sophomore)
Thomas (Sophmore)
TE:
Jordan (**True Freshman)
Besides Scaife and BJ, the guys who played most frequently have been in this offensive system for no less than 2 yrs. Majority have been in the system for 3 yrs and BJ was by far one of our best offensive weapons. So I'm definitely not seeing the inexperience argument.
We had more talent than every team we played this year sans maybe LSU.
Mental mistakes were shown from the coaching side as well (i.e running a slow 4 minute drill when down 2 scores), so of course the team would have these same mental lapses.[/QUOT
For large portions of this season Wiggins, Scalife, Jordan, Perry, Donaldson, Dallas and Thomas...all freshmen and sophomores on the field at the same time.
Not to mention guys like Pope, Hightower, Davis and Mallory who got less run but PT nonetheless.
The upperclassmen who were counted on to make plays were Rosier who got benched, Cager who should have been benched and a very good leader in Homer.
This offense is unimaginative and needs an overhaul, but in my opinion inexperience also played a part in it's ineptitude.
