This is a real interesting situation. Is the problem A) The players aren't giving the appropriate effort, B) the players aren't being "coached up" enough to do the right things, or C)  The players are just not good enough? Leach appears to believe it is A, the players effort, although that may just be window dressing. The fact the DC quit can't help but make one question the defensive coaching the players got both before and after that event. That lends support to B. Previous WSU teams played better defense, but it was both different coaches and different players.  To tell you the truth, I think it is C. Let's hope so. Possibly, it is all of the above.
