[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 998208, member: 1555"] I'm glad you, like me, can find some humor in some of the posts on this board. :) I think SoS is a factor. How much of a factor is a debate for some of the advanced stat folks. But I do think we defended two of the most potent offenses in the SEC and did rather poorly at it. It's been shown that our run defense was abysmally bad (bottom quartile) by most any metric. I can't see how anyone would disagree with that. Conversely, as [USER=282]@slugboy[/USER] showed, our pass defense was above average ("passable", in his words). Also, as I pointed out after the Miami game, we gave a textbook demonstration of bend-don't-break. Again as [USER=282]@slugboy[/USER] noted, we were very inconsistent. We had some games where the defense showed up. Others had us throwing things in frustration. It's the latter examples that tend to stick in our minds. It's human nature to remember failures more vividly than successes, and losses more than wins. I think with our new coaching staff, hoping for a 20-rank improvement isn't too much to ask. Whether that gets us to average or to below average (up from "bad") is less important to me than seeing a significant improvement that translates into winning an extra game or two. [/QUOTE]
