The "finishing" mantra is masking a coordinator-level blame split.

After giving up 87 points in consecutive home losses — including just 19 scored in the 35-19 B.C. loss — LB Kyrie Wilson and DC Jordan Younger leaned on "finishing" and "pain teaches." Meanwhile, OC Tommy Condell stood in front of the media and said "I could have done a better job" and "it hurts me to my core." Two weeks of autopsy, one bye week, and the official story still isn't unified — that's a staff-accountability fracture, not just a scheme flaw.
