My least favorite part of every loss is a rush to assign one and only one factor sole responsibility for the loss and ignore the efforts of opponents, etc. Let's be real: it's rarely true for most games and it's definitely not true for this one.

I predicted 8-4 before the season, but I think I was wrong on the downside. I'm surprised at the level of pessimism about the future.

WIM, I think your original prediction is quite apt.  For months we have been saying that the season will largely depend upon how quickly our rebuilt O-line can come together.  Well, the answer is...it is going to take some more time.  I am sure they will improve.  Will it be before the road games at Washington and Notre Dame?
