Positives:
1.) Leonte Carroo - when he played and was healthy, he was virtually unstoppable. First guy with 10+ receiving TDs for Rutgers in its history (single season). Would get some AA mention if he played all year.
2.) Janarion Grant - A beast in the return game. Should get some AA mention.
3.) Steve Longa - has been a tackling machine. 111 total tackles + whatever he gets vs. Maryland. Gause has played decent too.
4.) The RBs - they may have got slowed up a little against some top teams, but overall, great job by the group. And add in Hicks' defensive plays as well when called upon.
5.) The fact that this team and recruits are still behind the coaches. Despite some very bad games, there was still that fight, highlighted by the comeback vs. Indiana.
Negatives (the stuff we KNOW right now for sure):
1.) Off the field stuff - The arrests
2.) Off the field stuff - The emails
3.) Off the field stuff - The Carroo stuff
4.) 4-5 games with next to no offense combined the stubbornness not to give the backup more snaps
5.) Two years in a row our defense just got blown away at most points. I'd say this should be the first change we make (sorry Joe).
