As for the Panthers, this group of veteran players who have never really jelled together, it was yet another frustrating loss in an extremely frustrating season. You ve got to keep working. Some of you guys said we ve got a lot of old guys on this team, that s not true. We ve got a lot of young guys. And that s not a knock, everybody s working hard.
Guys are out there giving effort, doing everything they can to make it happen.
But until you learn how to win you can give all the effort you want to and it won t happen. White still thinks that can happen. I don t regret being here, but I said from the beginning there s a lot of doggoned good football players on this team, it s just a matter of guys realizing they re good players. Hoover, an undrafted rookie from Western Carolina, had 59 yards on 18 carries a 3.3-yard average. He also had two receptions for 16 yards.
