- Thread starter Raising Heel
- Start date
"People ask, 'Why have we had so many unsportsmanlike penalties?'" Brown says. "Well, I wasn't here, but I suspect it's because we're not a very confident team. When you're not confident, that's what you do you. You show off. You're not winning so you get your validation by being a tough-ass and pushing someone late or saying something."
“The players are buying in. And why not? They have lost 18 games in two years. In 2017, only seven FBS teams out of 129 had more penalty yards. In 2018, only 17 teams had a worse turnover margin.”
Two paragraphs that addressed sore spots for me. In other words, small things matter. This program desperately needed more discipline and a smarter approach to playing.
