CONFIDENCE. Wins create confidence and can make a less talented team play above their abilities. For the past four years LC has played a brutal schedule with young teams. They would start the season 0-4, 1-3, 1-5 and so on, which causes the team to lose all of their confidence. With the loss of confidence - they lose their fire, they make mistakes and one bad play causes them to give up. It's too late for a good start now but, I would think that starting next year they should lighten the schedule. Build a schedule where they can start with two or three wins in a row and then see how they play Belfry, Pburg and SC - I guarantee there would be a big difference. Hopefully, with their district being much easier, they can get some W's and gain some confidence.
