what made that 2001 schedule so difficult

is the start; we played Nebraska in our first game when it was their third. They just came out and blew the doors off of us. Then we went into a qb change, and there were predictable struggles. Do I think that schedule was overall tougher than what we've seen the last few years? Yeah, but we made it harder on ourselves. That was a poorly coached team for sure, but those were some strange scheduling decisions.

I don't think there is any real question that we've made the schedule easier for Kelly. I also think that he is a better coach than Davie. I do not think that he is as good of a coach as Lou was. Since we're going on feelings and thinking here, I would also add that if we had made the same concessions for Weis with the schedule, admissions, etc. that we have for Kelly, Weis would have done a lot better. I also think that Weis is a giant fat POS.
