If you're UBates, season's over. Week 1.
You lead 14-10 with 3:13 left and give up two scores in the last two minutes to an Amherst team that lost the Co-DPOTY and half its secondary. Classic Bates.
But the real story is Lynskey going down early. Looks like a very serious knee injury. He WAS the offense. Without him: 30 rushes, 48 yards, 1.6 a carry. And Gilmore throws four picks with zero TDs. 3 of 16 on third down.
Take the one guy defenses had to account for off this roster and there is nothing left. Look at the remaining schedule and find me a game they're more talented in. I'll wait.
First winning season since 2012 will have to wait until '27. Again.
