This is the thing that should concern you the most. Obviously to far gone to fix it this year, but how do you change this trend for next year. It's gonna take some serious team building and leaders to step forward in the off season. As Robe always says, chemistry can make a good team bad and a bad team good. The reversal of bad chemistry will be the most important part of the off season.

Yep this is the biggest issue this year that is hard for the average person to see. A separated locker room is much tougher to overcome than O or D problems.


Could the problem be to many transfers from other schools that just aren't jelling with existing players?

Chemistry problems can and may be personality related.

However in the case of this article it is about knowing your teammates tendencies, abilities, and confidence in them doing their job at all times.

"a different starting defensive lineup for each of their 10 games played this season." is otherwise known as the "prevent defense." It prevents chemistry.

Hell...the coaching staff couldn't even decide on who our QB should be...even after one of them was voted team captain. I'm not surprised that the locker room is somewhat divided.

HUD just said on his show it has been bad on the field and in the locker room at times.

The staff appears to have lost control and/or respect of their team.

Thanks Boomer. I was trying to do just that when someone implied that Hud had their back on this topic.
