[QUOTE="Foxyg, post: 138332, member: 1508"] This. What scares me to death is that we could improve on our 3rd down efficiency and all those other metrics mentioned above and still have our points allowed go up because of the ridiculous turnover margin we had last year. Depending on a high turnover margin is not a successful long term strategy. Hopefully we'll see more than incremental improvement in those areas mentioned above while keeping a decent turnover margin in order that we'll see real progress. It seemed after the UNC game, we played better on defense by being a little more aggressive. I'm not a genius with statistics, but it would seem you might be able to compare pre-unc stats to post-unc stats. Perhaps we were a top 50 defense in those metrics listed above over the last half of the season, but I don't know. We got lit up against FSU and MSU. UGA was an outlier because we had the ball the entire second half. We played well against Pitt (but again TOs) and Clemson (who was using their backup QB). The truth, I think, lies somewhere in between. We were never going to be a top 25 defense last year with the talent we had and the dearth of quality depth on the DL. What we were able to accomplish given those limitations what nothing short of a miracle. That speaks to coaching and luck. How much is attributable to coaching is up for debate. I'm glad we have Ted and I think he's got us on the right path, however, we aren't going to be a top 25 D any time soon given our talent limitations. Hopefully Ted can scheme his way past some of our issues till we get a little bit more talented on the DL. [/QUOTE]
