One national championship in the last 56 years.  I have to see it to believe it.  I understand your perspective, but I’ve been burned too many times…

It's not just this.  Last offseason, we read the same glowing reports.  When Connor Stroh emerged as leading candidate to start at LG, I don't remember reading a single reporting pointing to this as a potential problem.  I just don't understand how anyone can watch him practice and feel like he would be a capable pass pro option.  That's just one example, and it's not just Stroh, but the entire OL unit.  When I read nothing but positivity, both on offense and defense, where no one struggles or even inconsistent, I tend to wonder how valid it is.  That's just not possible at any level of competition.  Also, mere mention of areas to work on doesn't mean you're shxtting on the team or giving up on the season, it's just that, things to work on.  As diehards, I would think we'd be open to knowing things like that.
