I would not call the fumble on the return and the interceptions "self inflicted", however, the persistent issues with the snaps most definitely are, as was some of the play calling. PAM whipped the Indians soundly, the score was representative of the play on the field. I am not familiar enough with PAM personnel to know for sure - but it looked to me like they took their foot off the throttle in the 4th and let their 2's get some action. All that adds up to a team that was at least 35 points better last Friday, in my opinion.
That being said, I am confident the Indians will improve each week, I think the players are learning new schemes at game speed for the first time and the coaches are learning new players and in some cases new responsibilities. We know we have players that can excel and we have yet to see if the coaching staff is up to the task of mastering their new unit on the fly, but I have every confidence they will do so handily.
This should be a good game, and the weather will probably play a sizable role in the game plan.
I think the Purple will get the W and end some of this weeks lamentations.
