[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 373357, member: 857"] I have mixed feelings. Logically I can see we had a really tough schedule, and that our depth was lacking. Injuries to key players on the OL and on defense made a big difference to the outcomes of several close games as did well documented bad luck. Mitchell and Gray in my opinion would have produced a win at UVA. OL injuries to Lee, Stickler, Bryan, and Marshall made us move folks around up front, and the line seemed to steadily decline through the season. We just didn't seem to have the horses for 'next man up' unlike 2014 (and the competition was more elite). In 2015's season I was strangely encouraged. While clearly outmanned we fought to the death and played with energy to the bitter end no matter the score. JT didn't regress, he just didn't have the same people around him. CPJ himself pointed out the character our team the 2015 team was intact and that we were just outmanned and had too many injuries. This year I felt like our guys let all the close losses get to them. It seemed like by the end of the season the fight went out of us and we were beaten. We didn't match Duke's energy on either side of the ball. Or UGA's. It wasn't just the losses, it was the manner of the losses. The fact that we were winless on the road also suggests some frailty. Beating VT at home seemed to drain our last emotional resources. I've got nothing conclusive to say, other than we need the guys from the last recruiting classes to develop, step up, provide quality depth, and show grit and character. Keep grinding and getting better. It's about all you can do. [/QUOTE]
