[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 52733, member: 77"] There's a bright side and reason for optimism that is born from this disparity. It is much easier to go from bad to average than it is go from good to great. If we can maintain "good" on offense while rising to "average" on defense, it just might be all we need to get over the hump in our close losses. Also, a major contributing factor to our being bad on D has been addressed, the coordinator. We don't know if this will be a fix yet, but early returns are promising. Another contributing factor is a string of bad luck on D in recruiting, especially with Dlineman. Tuitt, Flowers, Jackson, just to name three, were all within our grasp but slipped away at the last minute. We are more than due for a little bit of good luck on that front. We also had some bad luck with injuries, some career ending and some highly rated guys not panning out. Luck tends to even out over the long haul. We are more than due for things to break our way for a change. Two other changes in recruiting should be very positive as well: the added staff and unlimited exception policy. Changes like the ones listed above typically do not yield immediate results on the field, they take time. That's why the "4 years is enough time" argument is flawed. Enough time has not yet passed for them to yield dividends. [/QUOTE]
