Well, that could certainly have gone better.
After a 23-3 loss to East Tennessee State in the season opener, the commentariat’s faith in Clark Lea has faded rapidly. But remember, after opening the 2014 season with a 37-7 loss to Temple, Derek Mason still probably had an opportunity to get the fan base to believe in him — only he followed it up with a pathetic 41-3 showing against Ole Miss, then famously needed a missed field goal to beat UMass.
It’s hard to say that Clark Lea needs a win at Colorado State on Saturday.
