I'm trying to figure it out. I had posted this on the Miami board to get some other theories.
1. The uncertainty of the QB situation. It seemed like Richt had no real clue as to who the starter should be. He kept shuffling Perry and Rozier line he was just throwing something at the wall and hoping one would get a hot hand. 2. The lack of QB development (Richts son John is the QB coach) Rozier seemed to regress instead of showing any signs of progress, and Perry really didn't display any flashes of brilliance either. Again, possibly due to the constant rotation or just simply the inability of John Richt to develop a QB. 3. The offensive scheme, or lack thereof. 96th in the FBS. 4. Consecutive losses to Virginia, BC, Duke & GT. 5. Manny leaving and taking the head coaching job at Temple.
The thing that boggles my mind is that last year we had a top 10 class and right now were sitting somewhere around 43.
