As boring and as played out as it sounds, Gus did the same exact thing and he lasted 8 seasons. Freeze knows what he's doing. The last thing he's going to do is throw the players under the bus. No amount of preparation was going to win you today's game with Payton Thorne as your QB.
If this loss doesn't make you jump off a cliff, how about Liberty going from 8-4 in CHF's last season to 11-0 and ranked? Oh, and yeah, they beat New Mexico State soundly.
