per Chip:
Kill declined to commit to Croft as his starter moving forward, saying he wants to evaluate video and reflect on his decision.
Fine, but is it really a difficult choice at this point? They’ve seen what Leidner can do. Now, they must see what they have in Croft.
The coaching staff already misplayed the situation by not giving Croft snaps in nonconference games. Those games proved to be closer than anyone anticipated, but Leidner’s struggles didn’t just sneak up on everyone.
The coaches had to realize that a change was possible, even likely, at some point. They should have found ways to use Croft before Saturday.
Kill looked deflated after the game. He talked quietly. His program has made progress in so many areas, but one remains a major problem.
Five years in, Kill’s offense is in shambles. And the blame stops with him.
