about the Joe Dahl situation. I am not sure what was brought to light that was different than before. Maybe I missed it. He once again reiterated he handled the recruiting process poorly. he wished he leaned on his parents more.
It is very common "tweeners" get offered late. They wanted to see more film to properly evaluate him. At 6 5 and 240 no one was banging on his door.
What I was going to admit to before the game yesterday is I was wrong where I thought the Cougs would finish. Six months ago when Cooper left I wondered the impact of losing Pole and Cooper. I felt at that time with they being gone, the lack of experience at the position, plus Halliday being gone they would have trouble winning 5 games.
As time went on I started to change my mind. The Pac 12 lost a lot of talent at QB, and as I looked at it more and more, teams would have a harder time exploiting our weakness, With Leach pronouncing how good the dline looked, and seeing what UW did on Friday, and the rest of the conference, before the game I was going to write that I was wrong and they would win 7 games, 8 if UCLA's QB struggled.
So I was wrong about my prediction, and my revised prediction.
I have zero idea where this team will finish up. They can't be as bad as they played yesterday. They just can't, not with all the kids that had multiple offers and stars.
