I don't think so; we started 3 seniors of the 22 vs. MSU and BH has another recruiting year to fill the holes. Other teams on the schedule have far more turnover. And lose the "another"; we did not take a step back in 2018; the 2018 team was far better at the end of the year than the 2017 team.
Really? They were better? 3 losses in a row. 3 losses at home including one to Portland state. A worse win loss record and this team did better than last years?
In 2017 they lost one game at home. Never lost consecutive games, had a better win loss record and the teams they lost to last year were better than the teams the lost to this year.
You missed the "at the end of the year" part in your selective reading. Two blowout road wins and playing MSU far tougher; doing everything but winning. Started but 3 seniors at the end. But for a home blowout of UND, the 2017 team did not finish strong and was embarrassed by MSU. Enough to miss the playoffs at 7-4 (thanks to Valpo and Savannah St.) and get the HC fired. The 2017 team ran up its stats on the weak teams; folded to the tougher ones. Never beat a playoff team.
Again, 3 losses in a row compared to not losing consecutive games last year. 3 home losses at home compared to 1 last year.
As far as finishing this season stronger.... really?
This year the finished the last 6 games at 2-4 last year they finished 4-2
2018
Loss at home to PSU
Loss- blow out to a bad North Dakota team
Loss- blowout at home to UC Davis
Win- blowout out of 2 win souther Utah
Win- Idaho state
Loss- at home against Montana state who’s best player was suspended all year. And we’re dominated in the 2nd half
2017
Win- Idaho state
Win- Blow out of North Dakota
Loss- at Weber who made a good playoff run
Win- Against PLAYOFF NAU with our 4th QB
Win- blowout of Northern Idaho
Loss -away against State who had there best player and although the margin was bigger, nothing in the game last year compared to the 2nd half this year.
I know, facts sometimes elude people on here but there really is no other way to look at it. And yes as you can see above they did beat a playoff team last year with there 4th string QB.
And lastly nothing an any alternate universe did last years team fold up the way this years did. There are literally 100’s of comments this year on how this team folded in the 2nd half this year in probably 5 or 6 games including Montana state.
