That team just flat out should not lose. Part of it is a philosophical problem, as relying on defenses to win the game for you when offenses will use 4 downs is a recipe for disaster, but his teams just never have the nastiness that they should.

It's magnified more now because the offense they run is very reliant on the QB making calls at the line and well...we have a true freshman and a dude who sucks total balls.
