There are many things tearing up this years "team". Injuries are big factor. Then the fact that there are a lot of individuals instead of team. Then take the fans that have been telling these boys that they are awful and that there coaching staff is awful. This will make an already struggling team feel that there is no use. Stop complaining about the backs and start looking at the whole picture. Maybe your negativity is wearing on your son, which then flows down to the team.
