The difference in 2009:
Poor QB Play
Poor coaching chemistry
catestophic penalities with regularity due to lack of discipline
Weak secondary and a defense that was just lost at times
No confidence or determination at times
team that was frustrated from losing
For those people that say, "3-8, it will take years to turn this around", they are flat out wrong. Just a change in attitude and some confidence with last year's team and they are 6-5. I will not be surprised with a significant turn around. If we don't win 6 games, I will be very surprised.
You also have to understand that they had less time to condition themselves, and had an abbreviated spring practice due to the flood. Couple that with at least 6-7 players getting kicked off the team for run-ins with the law, and that gives you what we saw on the field.
Full spring practice this year, great transfers, only one run-in with the law, full summer conditioning, and I think we will be greatly improved.
