[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 52696, member: 265"] I think the problem here is that these people simply aren't data-driven. We looked pretty questionable last year too: new soph QB, lost our top RB and WR, new D coordinator. But we ended up pretty much where we have in the last few years and were a couple of bad plays away from doing a whole lot better. I look at it like this. First, on O we'll be about the same: top 5 in rushing, 30 - 34 ppg … you know, the usual. This is, I think, the main problem with the prediction rags. They don't realize that Tech is at the reloading stage. We run a system offense and we usually have people who can run it just about as well year after year. They look at teams that lose their TB and think that's the same as us losing Godhigh. It isn't. Second, there's the real problem, the D. Here the jury really is out. We were better overall last year, but we had a hard time getting the other sides off the field. We lost out stud DE. Can we improve? Maybe. The players know more what they are doing, the ones we have coming back are decent (especially the back 7), and they've had a year to grow. If we go 7-6, however, it'll be because we couldn't get better on this side of the ball. And, again, I have to ask: just what exactly are these people smoking to see [I]Pitt[/I] in front of Tech? They lose the best DL in the country - and they won't replace him - and their starting QB. You think we have problems? [/QUOTE]
