I think 80% or even more credit should be given to the players for turning it around after the drubbing at Clemson. I'm pretty sure Grobe said, after that game, they were going apathetic, "hands off," and were not coaching as much that week going into State. So I think the players were the ones who put it on themself for that three game stretch.
Now, I have no explanation for the Cuse game.
I do. The defense played very well. We made no offensive adjustments in the first or second half and lost. Simple as that. It wasn't a lack of effort. It was a failure of leadership. The players can tell the press they just didn't want it bad enough... that's a stock answer to the press. The bottom line is the offense was running plays east/west and the Cuse was all over it. It was an offensive mess. You hold a team to 13 at home and you win.
And just to throw this out there... the resurgence of Wake was credited to Elrod (because he supposedly was calling all the offensive plays) and everyone threw Lobo under the bus again. So, who do we fire after last week? Just wondering...
