The reloading thing goes a bit too far, since by this time Carroll has had a chance to recruit and had all his players reach upperclass status. Weis has recruited very well, so in a couple years losing a bunch of players shouldn't mean instant devastation (if he keeps recruiting well).

It's not unexpected that they'd do bad, given Ty's late classes and the fact that all the highly ranked players are frosh or sophomore. They're basically playing with a MAC-level oline.

The problem is that they aren't performing anywhere near THAT well. Their MAC level O-line is playing like a DIII O-line. Instead of being mediocre or even somewhat bad, they're so atrocious they've taken the spotlight off of my Wolverines (thank God for that). Good coaches (and obviously great ones) can't spin straw into gold, but they sure don't ever have a team that looks like this in Year 3, either.
