I try not to blame the ventriloquist dummy

[phatcat]

If a ventriloquist dummy insults you, you don't get mad at the dummy.

Lausch is a symptom, not the problem. It's not his fault that he can't do the job. By all accounts, hes putting in the work (unlike Hilinski, who seems to be just enjoying life). I'm not sure he'd start at any other FBS program. And he's not a kid, he's 11 games into his 3rd year of college football.

Likewise guys like Carsello or our geriatric tight ends. They just aren't good enough despite years in the program.

We got thrashed by the worst Mich team since RichRod and it looks like the team quit.

I don't get it. Braun seemed like a godsend last year. This year, he's like a deer in the headlights on GameDay. And the team looks slow, weak, and unprepared.

Sigh. I'll see you guys at Wrigley.

One could argue 9 career starts with a brand new OC constitutes being a kid. Lausch was thrust into the starting role after the ineffectiveness of Wright. The plan all along was for Wright to serve as a bridge to next season when the staff felt Lausch would be more prepared to take over the starting role.
