...and that INCLUDES the coaching staff.

Lack of situational awareness by the players.

Dumb mistakes.

Dumb, costly penalties.

Terrible clock management (coaching).

Running out of bounds when trying to bleed the clock.

Snapping the ball with 10-20 seconds left on the play clock when trying to bleed the clock.

3 running plays on an offensive series with 1:36 left, KNOWING you have to throw the damn ball and get a first down!!

Did you ever notice that a CJF coached team rarely, if ever OUT SMARTS the other team? We win on talent level alone -- and when it's a mis-match, we pour it on to make it look better.

But play a B1G team that is solid on the OL and DL (MSU this year, Iowa last year, OSU every year), that spells trouble for us.
