The precipitous decline of a once-dominant college football powerhouse has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads. Just one year removed from an undefeated season, this storied program finds itself mired in a three-game losing streak, with a offense that’s as stagnant as a summer swamp.
It’s not just the wins and losses that are alarming, but the complete and utter lack of production from a unit that was once the pride of the program. The running game, once the backbone of this team’s success, has been reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. In fact, there are over 100 running backs across the country who have outgained the entire team over the course of three games. It’s a staggering statistic that has left even the most casual observers aghast.
The struggles of this team are all the more confounding given the significant investment made in its quarterback. With a price tag of $400,000, one would expect a level of production that’s commensurate with the cost. Instead, the returns have been paltry, with a mere 666 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions to show for it. It’s a performance that’s left many wondering if the team got taken to the cleaners.
As a rival fan, it’s hard not to take a certain degree of pleasure in the struggles of this once-mighty program. But even the most ardent foes must acknowledge that the current state of affairs is a far cry from the glory days of yesteryear. If something doesn’t change, and soon, the rivalry between these two teams will be reduced to a battle of which squad can avoid being the worst in the state.
