Not very sanguine about our prospects. The lack of depth thing will likely be our undoing. Also, if we continue to make mistakes at the rate we have been making them we are toast.
IMO the DL has been the top unit on the team this year despite the lack of experience and depth. They showed up ready to produce this year and have done just that. This game, once again, will test their mettle and resolve. And it will likely be just 3 DL playing the ENTIRE game: Tevis, Johnson & Johnson. It would be such a delight to see these three lads just tear the down out of the Ducks!!!
You are a much better man than I for caring this much. I've never given up on the Bears before, but I actually want them to go winless this season. It's a lost season, and the students need to learn that if you aren't focused on your job (which is to be a student and an athlete), then you are going to get embarrassed.
Of course, we have new coaches, and have had no time in the off-season to prepare. But that is true for teams like the cougs and washington. And we are returning a lot of starters. So let them be embarrassed this year, learn and win the rose bowl next year.
