So for the second win in a row we feel bad about it. Really? I know we all want to be a top 10 team, but these guys are very young, play hard and are learning without the benefit of one or two senior leaders to show them the way. Lapses like these are common especially for young teams. Lighten-up Francis.

I can find dozens of interviews from much more experienced coaches who have said the same thing. It's basically coach speak for "having a team full of freshmen really sucks sometimes"
