[QUOTE="GlennW, post: 144685, member: 33"] It's been said many times that if Paul Johnson could get a Defense that would end up in the Top 30 or so; at least make stops more consistently than they have his first seasons, then the Yellow Jackets would have a chance to contend for Championships because our Offense has been consistently effective. I said last season that I thought 2014 would be the springboard for a run at a National Championship in 2015, and I thought it would happen because the Defense would be under Ted Roof's control for a full three seasons, meaning the players should be playing instinctively rather than thinking so much, he'd be abe to put in more of his playbook, and he'd have had a chance to "cycle-out" Al Groh's 3-4 "players" (he recruited players for a 3-4 alignment that were different physically and different "positions"). Also, in 2015, I knew it was going to be a more experienced defense. I anticipated the team would play better last season than most sportswriters were projecting, thinking 9 wins was very realistic, and that they had a good chance for a Top 25 ranking at the end of the season. I was concerned that Justin Thomas might need a bit of time getting acclimated to the speed of the game early, and I knew the back-end of the schedule was difficult and we've historically had injuries, which I was concerned might cost us a win or two. I was thrilled they exceeded even my expectations, and I stand by statements that I think they are well positioned to win it all next year. [/QUOTE]
