I couldn't agree more on why Michigan was chosen. My point about better bowls is that we often tout, "3 straight New Years day bowls" like it's a great accomplishment. I guess we can now say...we've been to 3 New Years day bowls and one with a better payout than the worst New Year's day bowls. Don't tell me you'd rather play in the Insight against Missouri than get an SEC team on New Year's day. Please...
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want KF to replace KOK, however, I understand that isn't going to happen. We need some type of infusion of new blood to implement a more aggressive game plan into the mix. Just because we run a prostyle offense with the emphasis on establishing the run, doesn't mean we have to be predictable and stick to running the ball all the time when we weren't consistent. Did we have a dominant offensive line this year? I say no. They were dominant against EI, Iowa State, Penn State, etc, but against good teams, they were not dominant in establishing the run. No knock against them, they have a chance next year to be that dominant group.
My question for KOK lovers, is why didn't we go to a more ball control passing game with more of a pass first mentality, since we didn't have an experienced running back and the right guard struggled in the running game. You had a senior QB for gods sake. We did the same things over and over...and we did it worse each week over the last four games.
