It's gonna take a few years people.

Get used to it. Ash, while he does have some talent to work with, is going to need a few of his own recruiting classes to get to school before we can see an upward swing. I don't understand how anyone in their right mind could bash our HC after yesterday. Bad match up all around.

I told everyone that the point spread was WAY off for yesterday's game. And I still have us going 10-2. And I will not be upset if that does not materialize.

As far as "upward swing," hope folks are not expecting 10-2, 9-3 or even 8-4 seasons as the norm. Unless tOSU, Michighan, and Michigan State miraculously regress, and our other conference mates don't improve at all, expect a lot of 7-5, 6-6 or worse seasons and take more than 7 win seasons as happy days.

A quality, middle-of-the-conference program is all I ask for. It can, and will, happen.

It should happen, it might take though 4 years of solid Recruiting classes to get us to 6 or 7 wins in a season.
Patience is a virtue.

Beat PSU and Maryland. We're good.

I agree with you 100%!! In particular, regarding the "put someone else in at qb" comments. The experts are not at practice everyday, but know everything.

Ash said the core of his teams are the players on the line of scrimmage. Right now RUs lines are really bad for the teams they will be facing. Flood was able to start off good with what Schiano left him. Ash will not be able to start off good with what Flood left him. You can't take big lineman who can't move and teach them to move just like you can teach a slow RB to be fast. Gotta recruit them.
