IMO, we had good talent on the roster last year even when we lost Rising, but I just believe Whitt fumbled the QB room so badily sticking with Wilson up until he got injured. As much as he didn’t trust Rose, Rose was beating TDS and doing it convincingly until he got hurt, which leads me to believe Whitt should’ve made a QB change one or two games before the BYU game and maybe we woulda been bowl eligible and beaten BYU, but we’ll never know. I recall the Alabama-Georgia national championship game when Nick Saban made a QB change at the beginning of the 2nd half and started Tua Tagavailoa where Alabama made a comeback and won the national championship in OT.
Even though Whitt has had a good winning record in his coach career, he is not the kind of head coach that will win a national title because his coaching philosphical approach is not like those of a Nick Saban or Urban Meyer. It could significantly help if his roster was littered with 4 and 5 star recruits where I think that could’ve significantly been a difference maker, but we are not Ohio Sts, Texass or the USCs of college football.
