It seems the hope was for Carter to come into his own, but he doesn’t appear to be mobile enough or quick in his decisions to complete the next step. I noticed Toledo only has 12 recruits, while losing some key pieces. Seems like Toledo needs to get a number of great RPO QB’s with these apparent recruit openings to back up Finn. Losing Mitch really sent Toledo into a spiral. It is shocking how the season turned out.

Bradley looked improved. Made some great throws, but there is no separation by receivers. No clever scheming. Weak blocking. He had dlinemen blowing by their blockers in his face every other pass, while Dormady from CMU had wide open guys every pass play. Bradley isn't fast or clever with his feet, but he has a gun and quick release, just bad timing to come up on this Rocket team curiously bereft of receiving talent and pass blocking.

Finn is talented. In retrospect he would have been the more successful heir to Mitch. The offense only looked good this year when Mitch was playing and using his feet to open up the defense and keep them off balance. Eli and Bradley are zero run threats so our entire offense shrunk in unpredictability and scope. Finn was obviously the 3rd backup in line but his skills are similar to Mitch and would have provided us with continuity and an offensive identity.

as for the defense...I've got no defense for that
