Tech could withdraw from international play after season
Tech was one of the more promising newcomers coming in, with their history of domestic success, but the starting and backup quarterbacks were quickly knocked out of play for much of the year in addition to a couple other top players such as Hakim Pesic, the leading wide receiver. Tyus Edwards was head and shoulders above the rest of the team on offense, but he couldn't get Tech wins on his own, and the team finished second from last in the conference. Additionally, due to the decent performances of third string QB Treon Lingaard, backup wildcat QB and rising wide receiver Erika Hallbjorn may transfer to Illara West, Indies University, or Barrier City State for more playing time. If Hallbjorn is favored by the staff next season, there's a decent chance that Lingaard will transfer from Technical University to a community college or even a struggling international team to keep playing as a starter.
"It's been one of our worst seasons for sure," Scott Evansson commented in the press conference after the final game of the season. "We put in a lot of work in the offseason that didn't get repaid... We're sure to take a hit in recruiting, too, but now that we're healthy again, our focus is on the Interior Conference and continuing our winning tradition there. Everyone wants to show that the oddsmakers are underrating us this season, and I think we'll definitely have an edge to our game, we'll be trying to prove that we can bounce back from a lost season like this one."
